Mark Green makes the case for Democracy and Freedom and against Trump's blatant Caesarism and MAGA's fringeworthy agenda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While neither side has a prohibitive advantage as of mid-2024, the stakes are no mystery. If the GOP should now win both the White House and Congress--with a reactionary Supreme Court already in its column--a numerical minority of Americans would then enjoy a temporary governing majority that could cancel a century of progress and make the world's oldest democracy no longer democratic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e There must be a word that binds together such threats but it sure isn't \"conservative\" in the way Eisenhower, Reagan, or the Bushes would have understood it. For if all the corruption, lies, violence, and racism described throughout \u003ci\u003eThe Inflection Election\u003c\/i\u003e were aggregated into a pointillist painting, the portrait would resemble Orbán far more than Obama. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is extremism posing as patriotism . . . whether it's called fascism, dictatorship, autocracy, or authoritarianism. While the country can hope that the courts will hold Trump accountable, Green concludes that crushing it in 2024 is the best way to return to a healthy two-party system where losers respect the choice of voters, like in the good old days of 1789-2020. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a likely close 2024 national contest, \u003ci\u003eThe Inflection Election \u003c\/i\u003eis an entertaining and informative manifesto that will become part of this year's urgent political conversation. It is a one-stop primer that synthesizes fresh phrases, narratives and values to keep Democrats on offense and Trump's MAGA party on-the-ropes. Green's conclusion is that the GOP \"sounds like a casting call for the delirious jury in the classic film \u003ci\u003eIdiocracy, \u003c\/i\u003e which was supposed to be a satire on reverse Darwinism, not reality TV.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e November 5, 2024 is either\/or time.
