A second Trump term will happen sooner or later b/c of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 that will simply change to Project 2029 or Project 2033... They're planning for it to happen with the next Republican President. The only thing that might cool it down is if we can get the vast majority of MAGAs in the House and Senate voted out.

@@dorothyjohnson6743So the key in any fight is to overwhelm your opponent consistently. Never rest because they won't. In this case, we fight for the ones in our past who fought for us, our kids and ourselves who love what democracy has meant to us and given to us. It's worth fighting for. Trump and his followers gave up on democracy. Fight thru voting, fight thru cooperating with other like minded people by defending pro democratic ideas, and keep calling these guys out 24/7. Take care.
I have to admit, 2016? I was one of the Democrats who mistakenly thought that Trump could never win so I didn't vote. It wouldn't have changed anything regarding the Electoral College because I live in Brooklyn, NY, but I will NEVER do that again.
I’m not a Democrat, but I’ve been voting Blue since the 2016 voting cycle. There was a lot of apathy back then and people weren’t even all that concerned. But since the tRump era, I feel as though most Americans have become hyper focused, educated, informed, and determined. All of this is still concerning, even somewhat disturbing, but I feel as though we don’t need to be overly worried.
@@richietattersall2122 I actually DIDN'T know that, about the 16 election being lowest voter turnout. It does help to make more sense, because I learned that lower voter turnout causes elections to lean republican, which gave trump a better chance to win. Just so trying to figure out all the things that helped trump win. 🤷♂️ (i.e.-"mistakes")🇺🇲
@@TomDLuv777 YIKES!! I'm shocked to hear people STILL say we don't need to be overly worried. I think many people are just looking at things trump has done in the past, things that have already been investigated, dissected, publicized, and "we understand all of it now", but not enough people are thinking about what is yet to come. I firmly believe that trump is hatching a number of plans, 1) try to win 2) if he Loses, STILL get into the WH by other means. Trump has already got plans in the works through his Maga congress, coupled with his violent mob, to forcibly get back into the WH, much like his j6 attempt, but much, MUCH more organized, widespread, and likely, more violent. Even in some of his recent speeches, trump doesn't seem to be stepping back from his dictator and national abortion talk, like he's not as concerned anymore, with getting more moderates, or independent voters, it rings of someone who plans on getting back in, with, or WITHOUT enough votes. I think we should be VERY concerned about that. 🇺🇲
I voted ever since I was old enough to do so, but I also thought he wouldn't win, disheartening at best, but when he wouldn't concede. I admit I was shocked, difficult to believe someone could be basically a sore lower. Had no idea what was going to happen to our country and the world.
think democracy is slowly dis appearing ascitizen trump given priviledge like no other to abuse and disrespect rules of laws[as usual ]and continue??????/
Mark and his team are a part of those unsung heroes, doing this incredibly significant monumental work for democracy while we're off worrying~not that Trump will be elected, because he won't. Also he's just one person and he will die. The only worry is that maga accounts(what I'm calling social media trumpers because we have no proof that these are actual individual human beings) actually listen to Trump and look at Trump and know a good part if not all of his history~and still think he's wonderful. THAT'S a concern, at least until it all wears off. Trump will die and it wouldn't surprise me if it happened before November. I think there's just so much stress and amphetamines lack of sleep and a complete absence of actual food being consumed... The any miserable inside and out, morbidly obese idiot can manage without it killing him. He looks like a stroke waiting to happen as it is.

We got to get rid of bothsiderism… mainstream media, owned by conservatives, is a joke. I am 71 yo and astounded by where this country has morphed… have lived in NC since 1980… Great show.., just found your platform. ❤
We have a lot to worry about in this country, but having people like Molly Jong-Fast writing and speaking about what is really going on makes me feel more strongly that maybe things can get better.
This video made me think. I’m from the Netherlands, and there isn’t one person in the country with that much power as the American president. He almost has the power of a king. All the people he appoints, that Trump could destroy the postal service, I can’t think of more now. But that’s a lot of power in the hands of one person.
I agree with you about the medical profession as a retired family physician. I have stated and hoped that my colleagues would stand up their patients and the profession, by doing the the necessary medical actions. Even if arrested and losing licenses. One can only jail so many and the resulted harm to population would force a change by forcing out the GOP.
Seeing what is going on now with the Trumpers, I realized that this problem has been festering for about 20 years. We had a MAGA republican who became the head of the state party way back then. Although they weren't called that back then, the attitudes were there. He started a lot of turmoil by immediately filing a freedom of information act request for EVERY government document for the past five years, including every preserved note, e-mail, letter, and other communications regarding a broad range of subjects. Complying with the request would have almost shut down the government and resulted in millions of pages of documents. It was estimated that the cost of this request would have cost millions. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and he was dismissed as head of the party. But that attitude, being willing to destroy everything to get their way, is precisely what MAGA is. I never voted Democrat before, but I will never support MAGA. But you are right, this is not a four year problem, this took decades to happen and will probably take decades to heal. Trump needs to be convicted, and then hopefully die of old age shortly thereafter.
If you read Jane Mayer's book, "Dark Money" or Nancy Maclean's "Democracy in Chains" you can see that entities like the Koch Brothers and the Heritage Society began funding right wing radio and "grass roots" groups in order to undermine progress made since Roosevelt. They are against any form of environmental regulation of big business/big polluters; and they are against the wall between church and state; and they want less tax on the rich and more on working families. They've already managed to get about 50% of the public out of Medicare into the insurance programs which should NEVER have been allowed to use the term "Medicare" in their sales' pitches. They are the party of Ebenezer Scrooge.
Molly Jong-Fast's observations are spot-on and her comments that the guardrails have not held need to be taken as a strong warning on how America's democracy is in danger with even the remote possility that tfp is the presumptive nominee for the GOP. All of us need to put America first, which is what Liz Chency and Adam Kinzinger did. SAVE AMERICA. SAVE OUR FREEDOMS. SAVE OUR RIGHTS. SAVE DEMOCRACY. VOTE BLUE.
To the Both of you, this was awesome to watch . I do watch MSNBC streaming here in Tasmania and have turned a few of my Fellow American friends here to watch Democracy Docket and MSNBC. Finally I get to hear you both SWEAR and be yourselves. So awesome of what you guys speak and bring REAL SHIT back to my ears. Love your work. Both Marc and Molly . We need to make sure Democracy SURVIVES. 😎👍🏿
Absolutely outstanding episode! Molly is fantastic 😊 You both touched on so many important issues, and I agree with you both. As a lifelong Bostonian, (I had to move to Vermont in 2018 because it was the only place I could afford that was close to my sons and grandchildren in Williamstown Ma the only upside was and is are my outstanding Senators and my Rep.) I knew how corrupt trump had always been, and the moment he was elected I told one of my sons that was watching the news with me that that man will not leave after four years; he said mom there's rules and laws and he has to leave at the end of four years...i looked at him and said I hope I'm wrong and walked away. We're both progressives. I'm glad you ended on Ms RNC; I was disgusted and disappointed that NBC had hired her...WTF!??? I too, was so very proud of the MSNBC hosts that spoke up!!! I only watch one mainstream media news, and that is MSNBC; so this was a very disturbing decision they hired her. They never should have hired an election denier, a liar, and a participant of the insurrection. Thank goodness they came to their senses and listened to their long time, devoted team, and kicked her sorry ass out! Thank you both very much 💙💙👍👍💙💙
I totally agree! Also a life long Bostonian, moved to Vermont in 2011, my daughter was attending Norwich University, and after a divorce, he got the only home I ever lived in... long run best thing that ever happened, I married a dairy farmer happily ever after! We only listen to MSNBC also and love Molly, she has foresight and is so intelligent always right on the money. My husband and I didnt vote for Hillary we voted for third party but never thought he would win. Shocked we were the next morning when we heard. Will never do that again! I was so stressed for those 4 years that my blood pressure was higher and after the coronavirus I became type 2 diabetic, I truly believe that pushed me along to be unhealthy, stress induced sickness... what a difference with a "normal" President! I pray everyday that blue prevails and having a daughter & 4 grandchildren 2 of which are girls, having a long conversation with the 9 year old last week about my mom, grandmother and myself having more reproductive rights than her and her little sister will if we cannot codify Roe in the near future with Democrats at the helm... and it's a good thing that they were all born in Vermont! Its a beautiful place to live and I have no regrets... only miss walking Castle Island everyday once in a awhile.
All that participated have not yet been held accountable...I don't know what to actually say about that. How about all the members of congress?... Ginny Thomas, etc?......The DOJ needs to pull it together.
Insightful conversation. A Trump grift commercial came on after the show so I know 💯 the message is getting through to the ad buyers. Keep posting I'll continue to watch.Vote democracy blue 2024. 💙
The four years of TFG was characterized by the chaos, churn and incompetence of a political amateur, but with the project 2025 plan if TFG gets back in the WH, the guard rails will be removed and our government will take an authoritarian turn from which we may not ever recover.
Exactly! And several from Trump's former administration have explained how this will work. Also, the fact that there are bonafide racists and Nazis (added to misogynists) that fill the ranks of MAGA does not bode well for any form of justice or equal protection before the law if you are not a white (male) Christian.
The saga with the Supreme Court and that drug? NO one involved in filing the lawsuit was personally injured in any way, and Dr's ALREADY have the right to not prescribe it based on their personal beliefs. From what I've already seen, it was total waste of time and money and the Court is going to shut them down.
Marc is really good, but Molly is fricking fantastic! She says what many of us think, but with a deep knowledge of the system and its current situation.
At least five sitting on that court are there to please their original sponsors and/or their current donors. (Who covered Kavanaugh's gambling bills? Thomas is 100% compromised by the likes of his billionaire donor, and Scalia in a similar league.)
I love both of you and your opinions. My one and only grandson is a freshman in college. He is at the current point a political science major. He wants to be a civil rights attorney. I hope he can follow in your footsteps Marc. Great shot today.
Curious, my Utube is acting up since August. Does user...handle mean u have your own channel or personal feeds? Some Tyson guy wants me to make money???
This period of hopelessness can only be resolved when we, the people, who intend on defending Democracy finally decide to take power by any and all means conceivable. The time has come to think about what exactly I am saying.
"You can't have democracy with only one party." This situation we are in is very scary. I'm so glad I have you two to listen to so I don't forget. Thanks!
It's the first time you popped up on my TH-cam... I guess these things take a while. You and Molly rock. We have to have people who will dive into the murk and describe what they see. Absolutely critical service you guys provide.
Marc Elias you are an Action Hero - we are SOOO grateful for your time energy commitment & efforts in attempting to protect our democracy Godblessyou & God help us all what a nightmare. Bless you ME
Today's conversation was like I was in the room. I now can relate to Molly Jong-Fast! So glad there's no push to join the channel. My meager funds go to important campaigns. WI voter here.
Marc & Molly!!!❤ Molly is a beast in her reporting and insight. I watch Morning Joe religiously and love to see her on that platform; as well as many others. I don't subscribe to Vanity Fair, but I'm sure it's a better publication with her on the ticket. ❤😊❤😊
And now the right to abortion is enshrined in the constitution of France. I wish it had been reproductive rights, and I’ll probably have to read it in French to find out what it really says, but it’s something.
Christianity should never be used as a tool or hammer over the American people. Our founding fathers were very aware of keeping religion and government separate.
Yep. I worry about votes having nothing to do with the results of the elections. They have lots of lessons they learned from coup 1.0 to apply to coup 2.0.
Agree, Elias had been figuring out, and fighting trumps attempts to just go AROUND the voters. I hope more smart, concerned people like Mark Join him in this fight, this really is a fight for our survival. 🇺🇲
31:00 One of the specific Wayne Co. Board of Canvassers, William Hartmann, who initially was not going to certify the vote in Wayne County MI, had a taste of some Justice Juice. He was anti-vax (SHOCK!) and he died of COVID (SHOCK!). I don't root for people to die but I'm not shedding any tears. If I had to choose between William Hartmann or democracy, if that was a hypothetical choice, it's "Sorry Willie, Mr. Reaper is here to see you now."
I think Jack Smith is the reincarnation of Abe Lincoln--the looks, the solemn expression, and destiny calling him to this fraught moment to save the Union.

💙💙 Mike Johnson needs to be VETOED November 5 !!!
Keep up the great work Marc! Wish we could clone you to combat all these crazy anti-voting rights lawsuits!
The four years of TFG was characterized by the chaos, churn and incompetence of a political amateur, but with the project 2025 plan if TFG gets back in the WH, the guard rails will be removed and our government will take an authoritarian turn from which we may not ever recover.
Exactly! And several from Trump's former administration have explained how this will work. Also, the fact that there are bonafide racists and Nazis (added to misogynists) that fill the ranks of MAGA does not bode well for any form of justice or equal protection before the law if you are not a white (male) Christian.
Molly is making a MARVELOUS point about the guardrails!
... And thank you Molly ...
The saga with the Supreme Court and that drug?
NO one involved in filing the lawsuit was personally injured in any way, and Dr's ALREADY have the right to not prescribe it based on their personal beliefs.
From what I've already seen, it was total waste of time and money and the Court is going to shut them down.
Thank you for your amazing hard work & intelligence on these very concerning matters of civil liberty, voting rights it is so appreciated!
Marc is really good, but Molly is fricking fantastic! She says what many of us think, but with a deep knowledge of the system and its current situation.
Thx Marc and Molly 🌿
My question is why would the Supreme Court even take this case? Mifepristone. It's been used safely for about 40 years.
At least five sitting on that court are there to please their original sponsors and/or their current donors. (Who covered Kavanaugh's gambling bills? Thomas is 100% compromised by the likes of his billionaire donor, and Scalia in a similar league.)
I love both of you and your opinions. My one and only grandson is a freshman in college. He is at the current point a political science major. He wants to be a civil rights attorney. I hope he can follow in your footsteps Marc. Great shot today.
Curious, my Utube is acting up since August. Does user...handle mean u have your own channel or personal feeds? Some Tyson guy wants me to make money???
You are both fantastic. I agree with everything that you say. Thank God we have you both fighting for democracy.
Oh please. The threat to America is voting blue.
Everyone needs to support the work you do.
I'm worried too. Very much so.
Thank you Marc and Molly you're great
Thanks for what you and your likeminded people that help you in the path and fight for democracy. Gracias!
Thank you for all your information and defending democracy
Great guest. Great conversation. God save us.
This period of hopelessness can only be resolved when we, the people, who intend on defending Democracy finally decide to take power by any and all means conceivable. The time has come to think about what exactly I am saying.
.. many, many people did not survive with Trump as president ..
She said it ; Defendant can’t get over it (his loss). Broke his little heart.
"You can't have democracy with only one party." This situation we are in is very scary. I'm so glad I have you two to listen to so I don't forget. Thanks!
Thank you for standing for our democracy! 💙Vote Blue 💙
You know he never had a Democray, right?
I'm voting straight blue 💙 ticket 💙. 💙
I'll take Trump, thanks.
It's the first time you popped up on my TH-cam... I guess these things take a while. You and Molly rock. We have to have people who will dive into the murk and describe what they see. Absolutely critical service you guys provide.
Marc Elias you are an Action Hero - we are SOOO grateful for your time energy commitment & efforts in attempting to protect our democracy Godblessyou & God help us all what a nightmare. Bless you ME
Awesome conversation, kept me enthralled the whole time. Good hearing both your perspectives.
Thank you Molly & Marc for uncovering the frail walls that protects democracy
Awesome ! Thanks Marc great information ...
The fact is that none of this insanity will even begin to end until after it croaks.
All of them, not just Agolf Twitler.
Loved the interview! You both rock! 😊
Both ad interruptions were pro-Trump! 🤮
Today's conversation was like I was in the room. I now can relate to Molly Jong-Fast! So glad there's no push to join the channel. My meager funds go to important campaigns. WI voter here.
Marc & Molly!!!❤ Molly is a beast in her reporting and insight. I watch Morning Joe religiously and love to see her on that platform; as well as many others. I don't subscribe to Vanity Fair, but I'm sure it's a better publication with her on the ticket. ❤😊❤😊
Love u both ❤❤❤
This can't be. They have to lose and lose big
Love Molly :) Great episode
An add to donate to Trump is attached and there was no way to report it😡
💙💙💙 we need more Marks and Mollys in the US.
Desperately… 💙💙💙
Thank you Marc Alias 🇺🇸
And now the right to abortion is enshrined in the constitution of France. I wish it had been reproductive rights, and I’ll probably have to read it in French to find out what it really says, but it’s something.
Reproductive rights would encapsulated all of it
Will Democracy Docket be covering Project 2025? Every citizen should be aware of this.
Great interview, thank you!
Wow amazing. Show today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Truth is awesome!
Thanks again. Good info.
Thank you both! What a great video! It was wonderful to have two level headed intelligent people speak! No shouting, no lies (lol), just the facts!
Christianity should never be used as a tool or hammer over the American people. Our founding fathers were very aware of keeping religion and government separate.
Yep. I worry about votes having nothing to do with the results of the elections. They have lots of lessons they learned from coup 1.0 to apply to coup 2.0.
Agree, Elias had been figuring out, and fighting trumps attempts to just go AROUND the voters.
I hope more smart, concerned people like Mark Join him in this fight, this really is a fight for our survival. 🇺🇲
This time I am voting straight blue 💙 ticket 💙!!
31:00 One of the specific Wayne Co. Board of Canvassers, William Hartmann, who initially was not going to certify the vote in Wayne County MI, had a taste of some Justice Juice.
He was anti-vax (SHOCK!) and he died of COVID (SHOCK!). I don't root for people to die but I'm not shedding any tears. If I had to choose between William Hartmann or democracy, if that was a hypothetical choice, it's "Sorry Willie, Mr. Reaper is here to see you now."
Thank you Marc and Molly. Both are national heroes
I breathe easier after listening to Marc Elias 😮💨
Thank you for such a Great Discussion! “Keep on Trucking!!!”
She's got to move the huge black ball!!!
Mark, great job!
Ari Melber quoting writer Doug Porter: "A coup attempt that goes unpunished 'becomes a training exercise.'”
We cannot have another Rump presidency!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
You are both awesome, thanks for sharing.
Stephen Miller bears a striking resemblance to Joseph Goebbels.
I think Jack Smith is the reincarnation of Abe Lincoln--the looks, the solemn expression, and destiny calling him to this fraught moment to save the Union.
And to think a Jrwish man who looks and acts and thinks like a Nazi. We are living in an upside down world--------literally.
Given his Jewish heritage that's ironic.
@@siouxrose7766lll
And Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but even uglier ...
There’s so much in this discussion and it’s three weeks old… I’m gonna listen to this again when I’m not driving and take notes, it’s that good
Good informative conversation. Thank you.
“Not too bright” and “lazy” - the new requirements for the GOP. And, come to think of it, this describes the people in my life who are Magats.
Right? There a rash of MAGA hats I know feigning injury to try for social security.
I love the term "MAGATS"
@@FreddyMac80EXACTLY
That was a brilliant description. I’ve been saying this all along 😂 Buffoons
Yes doctor pushback is needed. Lawyers need to push back. Accounts need to expose the paper trail. License protection BS. Come on we need help.
MAGA won't die with the former guy.
Even when he has his heart attack .
I don’t think his supporters will believe he’s dead when the time comes.
@@Michelle-yw1lvWhen it’s induced because he’s outlived his usefulness and the real power wants to step up.
@@Michelle-yw1lv You need to have a heart, to have a heart attack. 😳
We need to vote Biden
Thank you for telling the truth.
