Topic: WorldNetDaily
It took two entire WorldNetDaily columns for Wayne Allyn Root to properly fearmonger about what he wants you to think might possibly happen if Donald Trump doesn't become president in 2024. First up was a Sept. 9 rant:
I don't think enough Americans understand the gravity of the situation we're in.
We are facing the end of the GOP. We are facing the reality that if former President Donald Trump doesn't win in 2024, there will never be another Republican president. That's not a possibility, it's a certainty.
But it's much worse than that. With Democrats in full control of power, there will never be a Republican again. PERIOD.
With one-party rule … and the weaponization of government in full force … and censorship of dissent by media and social media in full force; with free speech being criminalized (as it is now versus Trump) against all Americans … with no opposition to communist Big Brother government … being Republican, or conservative, or patriotic will almost certainly be criminalized out of existence.
That's the end of America, American exceptionalism, the American dream, capitalism and Judeo-Christian values.
Forever.
That's it. It's all over. The whole kit and caboodle. The whole kitchen sink. The whole enchilada. Everything you know and love will be gone forever. Including your children's future. And their freedom.
And once America goes, so goes the entire world. We are the last holdout. The last bastion of freedom, and free speech, and capitalism. The shining city on the hill. Without America leading the way, the rest of the world falls.
It's Trump in 2024, or it's over. It's darkness. It's Big Brother. It's slavery. It's the end.
Think I'm exaggerating?
Yes, we do. Indeed, Root is arguing that it's a bad thing that trump is being held legally accountable for his actions:
We've allowed a country where the strongest candidate who has a chance of beating Democrats is raided by the FBI, framed, indicted and sent to prison, or removed from the ballot.
You honestly think we're EVER electing another Republican again after we've allowed that?
So, it really is Trump, or one-party-rule … and the end of the GOP … and the last Republican president ever.
And after that: full-blown censorship, full-blown silencing of any criticism or alternative viewpoints, full-blown criminalization of all dissent, at the threat of FBI raids and imprisonment.
Therefore, no more Republicans – PERIOD.
Being a Republican will be outlawed as a threat to America; as being "domestic terrorism"; as being racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic and a spreader of misinformation.
There's that exaggeration again. He has a right-wing audience to rile up, after all, so exaggeration is the coin of the realm.
Root's Sept. 16 column -- headlined as "Part 2" of the subject -- was pretty much a rehash of the first:
Last week I warned that 2024 is literally the pivotal year in the history of the United States of America. Because if former President Donald Trump doesn't win, we are facing one-party rule, the end of the Republican Party, the end of capitalism, the end of America as we know it.
If Trump doesn't win in 2024, there will never be another Republican president. Anyone who doesn't understand this is blind, deaf and very dumb.
But the real contention of this commentary is: If Trump loses in 2024, I strongly believe he will be the last Republican – period.
Root added even more exaggerations, if not outright lies, about "what Democrats have been able to do to America":
– They have rigged and stolen elections – including the presidency – with mail-in ballots, no voter ID, ballot harvesting (a crime everywhere else in the world) and ballot drop boxes. Pure voter fraud has been legalized.
[...]
– Democrats have poisoned the military with purges of conservatives and white Americans; forced vaccines; critical race theory; along with transgender brainwashing and troops flying rainbow flags.
– Our schools have been destroyed by the same nonstop communist brainwashing, white hate ... and convincing our children to change genders without informing parents.
– All over America, woke companies will not hire whites for executive training programs.
– Elite medical schools have eliminated test scores. Now you get into medical school based only on race. Insanity.
He also claimed that "Democrats have added 86,000 new IRS agents. This is their personal Gestapo to target and attack conservatives" -- which very much is an outright lie. But he wasn't done fearmongering:
I have no doubt they will outlaw all Republicans as "domestic terrorists." PTA parents will be arrested. Free speech will be criminalized. All opinions counter to government will be canceled and banned.
Green energy will leave you with $2,000 electric bills and $12-per-gallon gas. Social Credit Scores and Central Bank Digital Currency will be installed; conservatives will be de-banked and left in financial shambles. If the banks don't leave conservatives penniless, 86,000 IRS agents will finish the job.
Mass arrests will be carried out. Americans will be sent to re-education camps. Everyone will be locked down indefinitely, businesses closed, masks will be worn 24/7 – in your car, outdoors, in your own home. We will all be force-vaccinated with a dangerous, deadly, poison vaccine.
Until we are all compliant, intimidated, brainwashed, in prison or dead.
This is the America you can expect if Democrats take full power in 2024.
We will be the last Republicans – EVER.
Root didn't ask his readers if they thought he was exaggerating -- perhaps because it's abundantly clear that he is.
