Democrats such as Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) present themselves as normal centrists, but the use of lawfare as a strategy has even the supposed centrists touting a fascist world in which political opponents are intimidated into silence.
At an event at the University of Chicago, Slotkin promoted her goal of keeping young conservatives out of politics by threatening them with prosecution, telling the crowd, “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity.’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that.’ I want that deterrence message.” Slotkin said this when referring to “signature cases” against members of the Trump administration who “enable” the president.
