During JD Vances\u2019 hometown rally last week, State Senator George Lang said that if Republicans lose in November, \u201cit\u2019s going to take a civil war to save the country.\u201d Far from an isolated comment, Donald Trump and his right-wing allies continuously threaten American democracy in the states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lang isn\u2019t the only one. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to yet another Trump ally invoking violence and threatening a \u201ccivil war,\u201d<\/em> DNC Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe right to have your vote count and your voice heard in free and fair elections is at the heart of our democracy, but Donald Trump and his allies are deliberately working to undermine that right. Donald Trump and his far-right allies are doing and saying anything they can to gain power. As in 2020, Trump has refused to commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election and is already planting lies about this election. Let\u2019s be clear: American democracy is strong, and voters will have their voices heard. Trump and JD Vance stand at odds with our most cherished American values. Voters will make that clear when they reject Donald Trump and his extreme agenda again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the battlegrounds, Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly spewed anti-democratic and violent rhetoric.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
