Fighting to Keep Trump From Becoming the King He Desperately Wants to Be [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-02-20

In a moment that shook many of us to our core, the White House posted an image on Instagram yesterday that has sent shockwaves through the political world. In the post, the office of the President referred to him as a "king", not the leader of a democratic republic, but as someone who reigns with unchecked power, free from the constraints of the people. This imagery isn’t just troubling—it’s a glaring reflection of Donald Trump’s dangerous desire to consolidate power and undermine the very foundation of our democracy.

But here’s the good news: National Ground Game is ready to step up and stop this from happening. We are more determined than ever to get Democrats elected and protect the future of our country from the authoritarian ambitions of a man who believes he is above the law. The clock is ticking, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Trump’s King Complex: A Threat to Our Democracy

Let’s be clear about what this “king” rhetoric from the White House means. It’s a terrifying sign of things to come if we don’t act now. Trump has made no secret of his disdain for democratic norms, constantly testing the limits of his power and daring us to stop him. From his attacks on the free press to his attempts to silence anyone who disagrees with him, Trump has made it evident: he wants to be more than a president—he wants to be a king.

Yesterday’s Instagram post isn’t just a mistake or a slip of the tongue—it’s a signal. A signal that Trump’s team wants to normalize this thinking. A signal that they intend to push forward with their plan to sideline democratic processes and strengthen the cult of personality around him. This is not just about politics. This is about saving our democracy.

National Ground Game: Mobilizing the People to Fight Back

That’s where National Ground Game comes in. We’re not just standing by as this dangerous rhetoric takes hold. We are organizing, mobilizing, and registering voters to ensure that Trump and his supporters cannot turn this country into a kingdom. We’re working tirelessly to get Democrats elected, not just in key states but in every corner of the country, to ensure that the power stays with the people, not with a single, unchecked individual.

Our mission is simple but vital: Defeat Trump, preserve democracy, and protect the future of everyday Americans.We are dedicated to ensuring that no one person, no matter how powerful, can take over our government and bend it to their will. This is a fight for the soul of America.

The Power of Local, Grassroots Action

At National Ground Game, we believe in the power of the people. Our efforts focus on grassroots organizing, meeting voters where they are, and empowering them to take action. Whether it’s registering new voters, providing education on the issues at stake, or mobilizing local communities to show up at the polls, we’re in this for the long haul.

But we need your help. The upcoming elections will be a turning point. We can’t afford to let Trump’s cult of personality take root any longer. We are pushing to register 5,000 new voters in Florida before the March 3rd deadline for the special elections on April 1st. These elections are crucial, not just for Florida, but for the nation as a whole. Every vote matters, and every new voter registered is a step toward stopping Trump and his authoritarian dreams.

Why This Fight Matters More Than Ever

Trump's thirst for power isn't just a partisan issue—it’s a threat to our democratic way of life. If we don’t act now, we risk seeing the very fabric of our democracy unravel before our eyes. We cannot allow the White House to turn into a monarchy. We cannot allow any leader—especially someone like Trump—to believe they can act with impunity, without regard for the will of the people.

This isn’t about political parties—it’s about defending the core values that make America what it is: a democracy where power is held by the people, not by kings or tyrants. And while the White House may be playing with dangerous rhetoric, we are playing for keeps. We are in this fight to protect the future of our country and stop the rise of authoritarian rule.
