Jasmine Crockett is absolutely right—Trump has proven time and time again that he cares more about his own power than the good of the country. His cozying up to dictators like Putin and his blatant attempts to undermine democracy should be disqualifying. Yet, the GOP continues to defend him no matter what, showing just how far they’ve fallen from any real principles. It’s terrifying that someone who incited an insurrection is still a major political figure instead of facing real consequences. And the fact that Musk is now being thrown into this mess just shows how billionaires are using their influence to prop up dangerous leaders. Democrats need to keep calling this out because too much is at stake to stay silent. We need leaders who actually care about protecting democracy, not destroying it.
