“Ask the average Russian if they want a dictator. Ask the 15 regions that broke free in 1991. Ask Ukraine, fighting fearlessly today to escape the death grip of one. Today, for the second time in two days, Donald J. Trump hinted that Americans want a dictator. He said: ‘The line is that I’m a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, “If that’s the case, I’d rather have a dictator.”’ I’ve walked streets in Romania still scarred with bullet holes from their fight against tyranny. I’ve stood on church steps in Timisoara where a priest and dozens of children were gunned down for defying a regime. I’ve watched a Ukrainian software team scatter back to their hometowns when Russia attacked Kharkiv—disappearing mid-call as power and communications collapsed. I’ve heard a Chinese colleague, under the one-child policy, quietly admit what would happen if he had two: ‘Very bad.’ History isn’t distant. Watch ‘60 Minutes’ on Argentina and the tens of thousands ‘disappeared’—women, children, anyone who dared resist. Meanwhile, FOX screams about crime in our cities but stays silent about the real rot: addiction, battered women, unaffordable education, homes, and healthcare—the everyday suffering in red Trump towns. The King and his regime grow rich without fear of law. The people suffer. Those who resist are crushed. Declare your independence. Before it’s too late.”
