YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump is ramping up repressive tactics against protesters and political opponents, and things could get even worse if he invokes The Insurrection Act. Progressive journalist Thom Hartmann warns that the emergency powers granted by The Insurrection Act could give him an excuse to “postpone” elections and officially solidify his status as a dictator. In this video we’ll talk about this new phase of Trump’s attempt to consolidate power and what it means going forward.
