A “constitutional crisis” occurs when a situation arises that cannot be (or appears that it cannot be) resolved under the terms and application of the rules laid out by the Constitution itself. It is a situation that challenges the very validity of the Constitution and/or its implementation of our democratic republic. A constitutional crisis is defined as a governmental problem for which there is no solution. It can lead to loss of political legitimacy or the collapse of government, meaning no one is in charge. Or it can lead to civil war, which Donald Trump is intentionally leading us.
He is charging the mainstream media with cover-ups in an effort to bring down his administration. In a coincidence believed by no one, Trump has railed against the media since the early days of his campaign, branding it “fake news” from “terrible people.” Without freedom of the press, as guaranteed in the First Amendment, Trump goes unchallenged in his efforts toward fascism.
He can declare a national emergency and impose military or police authority. In a coincidence believed by no one, Trump has cozied up to civilian police and hired military generals for his own staff and Cabinet. At the same time he has attacked the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice.
Trump can declare the election system to be corrupt and suspend elections. In a coincidence believed by no one, Trump has questioned the integrity of local elections based on the fact that he was not credited with winning the popular vote.
It seems that Trump has been preparing for this day. But that’s giving him too much credit. He’s just following the fascist day-at-a-glance calendar. There can be nothing more evil than a man that would entirely destroy a 240 year old democracy for personal gain and power, but it's happening.
Prepare yourselves because this is going to get historically ugly. Too bad that so many hundreds of thousands of men died to save it.
