Wielding Nukes Vs. Weaponizing Government
Regarding Mr. Krugman’s essay in the 10/22/2024 NYT, it’s not so much putting a madman in charge of our WMD arsenal that should alarm us as rearming Trump with the administrative power diabolically to restrain U.S. citizens from pursuing their plans and dreams regardless of their wokeness or contravention of his perceived self-interest. Furthermore, the abolition of slavery didn’t cause the Civil War; rather, as Lincoln prescribed at Cooper Union, the North had lost patience with the South’s use of slavery not only as a key to economic gain but also as an audacious tool for enlarging its governmental influence.
Re-electing Trump would threaten to make necessary another Civil War—This time setting the people against their own federal government.
