Our delusional president, Trump, is becoming more and more desperate in his efforts to hold onto power.
It has been reported that one idea under consideration was declaring martial law and ordering our military to hold elections in key states he lost last November.
As he consolidates his support among conspiracy theorists and right wing, anti-government extremists who advocate violence, we would all do well to heed the words of Voltaire: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
