As The Washington Post reported, "Trump pledges to jail opponents, baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him."
In advance of the upcoming election, Donald Trump is again telling the big lie about voter fraud and stolen elections and is again inspiring people to anger and priming the pump for violence.
Trump has a demonstrated track record for inspiring and inciting violence using his transparent election lies. Yet the institutions of government seem disinclined to do anything about it, notwithstanding the fact that Trump is intent on replicating the circumstances that produced the violence of January 6, 2021.
Will our institutions of government just shrug and say, "oh well, free speech." Notably, Trump's inflammatory (and false) rhetoric is designed to and likely to incite violence. And THAT is not protected by the First Amendment. Will the institutions of government tasked with protecting the American people and American elections act before it's too late?
