Buckle up: Win or lose, Trump promises potential scenarios of violence | Opinion

Why Troubling News:

This article's bias is apparent and it further goes on to argue how Donald Trump, if re-elected, can become a potential dictator. I claims how he could use the proposes in Project 2025 to replace members of the Justice Department with loyalists, use the military to enforce domestic law and how he could maneuver to jail political opponents. The article also discusses scenarios of violence is Trump were to win or lose the election. As stated the bias is clear and the author seems to want to paint the former president as a wannabe dictator and his supporters as violent radicals. But radicals only crop up in larger numbers during times of polarization like now, and intensely partisan material like this doesn't help the situation. Someone with liberal leanings reading this may buy into which can lead to demonization and dehumanization of Trump's supporters. And someone with conservative leanings may double down and become more entrenched in their beliefs when reading this, seeing it as proof of a "liberal media" going after their preferred candidate. The US is already polarized enough, and to add to it is like dumping gasoline on a pyre.
