6. "Democratic power centers" says it all

In addition, he repeats the lie that immigrants expand the voter base. Even LEGAL immigrants need to be in the country for years before they can become citizens.

What it seems this is is an attempt to create chaos, violence and turmoil in Democratic cities probably just in Democratic states that he and Republicans will use for their lies about life in blue cities.

Like attacking premier universities, medical, scientific and academic research, this attacks some of the biggest strengths of America. It will also accelerate the loss of international tourism here. These cities are places that people want to go to.

More and more, in addition to the loss of democracy and rule of law, I wonder what he sees as the end state he is going for. Is he going for a third world country, with a small elite having most of the resources headed by a dictator?
