"I have a question for former Trump Administration officials, Republican electeds and former electeds, business leaders, and conservative writers and pundits who recognize Donald Trump for the threat he is," Longwell argues. "Actually, it's a question for anyone on the right who knows what Trump's reelection could mean for the country, for liberal democracy, and for the world — and, who, in the face of this threat, has decided to maintain either a posture of silence or both-sides-are-bad neutrality. My question is this: How are you going to feel if Trump wins on Tuesday by an extremely narrow margin?" 
Longwell continues, "I suspect you'll spend the next four years holding your breath. Because if Donald Trump does a tenth of what he has promised — pulls the United States out of NATO, abandons Ukraine and sides with Vladimir Putin, puts RFK Jr. and Elon Musk in charge of serious parts of the American government, rounds up 15 million undocumented immigrants into camps and deports them, seeks political retribution on those who opposed his candidacy — I suspect you'll come to regret your silence when you could have made a difference."
