Reclaim the American Dream

Now is the Moment of Truth when We the People have our say and render our unvarnished verdict on Donald Trump’s hostile take over of our democracy.

We are all worried about our country. You’re worried about whether the elections will take place. I’m worried about the outcome. We’re all uncertain about whether all of our votes will be counted honestly or will team Trump rig the results.
Newscasts say the economy, inflation, affordability and the Iran war are the main issues. But when historians look back, this year’s elections will not go down as a typical battle of Democrats vs. Republicans over the economy.  

It will stand out as a watershed test for the survival of the Constitution and the rule of law, when We the People told Congress to stop  Trump’s runaway presidency or failed, and let him rule like an American Caesar.

So join me. You want to know:  Will Trump’s naked  gerrymander plot work? Will turnout be heavy? Will young people vote? Will Hispanics and other groups that voted heavily for Trump in 2024 switch sides  and reject Trump 2.0 and punish Republicans in Congress for slavishly supporting him?

To dig deeper and learn how we got into this whole mess and what we need to do to get our democracy back on track, see my new book—coming out in early 2027. 

It tells the story of how political, military and corporate elites fractured the nation and opened the road to Trump’s autocracy. The elections of 2026 and their impact will be in there, too. If you want to know more, click on the book. Already, Amazon has a low price for advanced sales.

These are my personal stories, taking you inside history, up close, at pivotal turning points, covering our leaders and grassroots Americans.  For me, this reporting was fascinating. I’ll bet you’ll also find it fascinating to read.
