Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

Donald Trump’s posting of a video depicting former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes was the most overtly racist act of a president since Woodrow Wilson segregated the federal civil service – or since Trump’s previous racist gesture.

The racist imagery Trump posted was so egregious that the video’s misogyny representing Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as animals was overlooked.

Trump’s denigration of women is implicitly assumed as business-as-usual and not newsworthy: “Quiet, piggy!”

And down the memory hole are the 3m long-suppressed documents from the Epstein files in which he is mentioned in its unredacted pages “more than a million times”, according to the Democratic representative Jamie Raskin, who was permitted access.

The only Black Republican US senator, Tim Scott of South Carolina, said of the Obama portrayal: “It’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” though Scott did not disclose any list, which could have been drawn from an encyclopedia of offenses beginning decades beforeTrump’s birther campaign.

During Trump’s first administration, in 2020, Scott chose to call out one incident as “indefensible”: Trump’s tweet of a video of a supporter chanting “white power”.

Trump’s latest racist post was preceded on 11 January by his predictable vandalism of Black History Month in an interview with the New York Times with a remark about the Civil Rights Act of 1964: “White people were very badly treated.”

The release of Trump’s Obama video runs parallel to his systematic purge of references to slavery at numerous national parks and sites, following his executive order of 27 March 2025, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History”. At Fort Pulaski national monument in Georgia, for example, Trump officials ordered the removal of a reproduction of the infamous 1863 “Scourged Back” photograph of an enslaved man named Gordon with severe whipping scars.

At Harpers Ferry national historical park, signs about slavery were flagged for removal. At the Kingsley plantation in Florida, exhibits of the harsh living conditions of enslaved people were ordered for inventory.

The historical information at President’s House in Philadelphia noting George Washington’s slaves’ presence there was removed.

But Trump’s video and remark about civil rights has its own inescapable history.

However ignorant, indifferent or contemptuous of history he may be, he has evoked the language and imagery of the inaugural address of Governor George C Wallace of Alabama on 14 January 1963, in which Wallace decried “the tyranny that clanks its chains upon the south”, and “the international racism of the liberals seek[ing] to persecute the international white minority”, in order to transform Americans into a “mongrel unit of one under a single all-powerful government”………
