Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) gave a preview of the harsh totalitarianism looming over the country should Democrats win control of Congress in the midterm elections. It involved harassment, intimidation, and nearly everything short of death directed at political opponents, specifically those considering seeking work in the Trump administration. She openly admitted that she wanted applicants to fear the consequences of doing so, characterizing her threats as a deterrent.
Slotkin made the remarks during a live forum on Oct. 13 hosted by the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago. The senator suggested that any young person seeking employment with the Trump administration could find themselves facing a dystopian exercise in guilt by association in what seem to be the inevitable show trials orchestrated by Democrats should they return to power after the election.
