Marco Rubio

“… a vote for anyone other than Trump is literally a vote to normalize the weaponization of government against political opponents and criminalize the traditional American way of life.”
I grew up in Miami listening to the stories about the Castro show trials in Cuba. Not even in my worst nightmares would something like that ever happen here in America.
But it did.
Over the past seven weeks, a former president was held hostage in a New York City courtroom. On an absurd indictment by a far-Left prosecutor infamous for being lenient with violent criminals. In a trial presided over by a judge who donated money to his political opponent in 2020 and whose daughter used the trial to raise money for Democrat politicians. And a jury drawn from a pool of voters in one of the most liberal Democrat counties in America.
It was a sham political show trial like the ones Communists used against their political opponents in Cuba and the Soviet Union. But it’s just the latest episode in what is now a deranged eight-year effort by an American ruling class in both political parties to prevent, at any cost, the election of someone who puts the interest of everyday Americans first.
In 2016, Democrat operatives hatched a plot to convince 37 Republican electors to “reject their oaths—and in some cases, state law” by voting against Donald Trump. Three years later, Democrats impeached him. They did it again in 2021, this time after he’d already left office. Fast forward to 2024, there was an attempt to kick him off the ballot—an effort so insane it was rejected unanimously by the Supreme Court. And now, there are unprecedented efforts to jail, bankrupt, and otherwise prevent him from campaigning.
Why is this ruling class so desperate to sideline Trump? Because voters like him better than Joe Biden. Poll after poll makes it clear that Trump is very likely to be the next president. The reasons why aren’t a mystery. Life was better, America was stronger, and the world less chaotic when Trump was President.
