What to Expect from the Trump Presidency

Our Choice was either a democracy that is increasingly equitable and healthy or an autocracy that embraces the values of the Dark Ages .

The most obvious basis for our choice was in the demonstrated character and performance of the candidates.  A stark comparison of President Biden and his GOP predecessor / successor can be seen HERE.

Just as important are the principles of the two parties. The Democratic Party fights for cleaner, sustainable environment, universal healthcare, economic justice, quality education for all, worker empowerment, greater safety from gun violence, compassionate and comprehensive immigration policy, freedom of health choices, and benefits for the public good.

​The Trump-captured GOP plans to implement Project 2025, a plan created by a powerful, ultra-Conservative, billionaire-led coterie.   For starters, the Project 2025 agenda  will corrupt and debilitate every institution of our democracy, and bring about increased income inequality, a nationwide ban on abortion, further erosion of human rights including marriage equality, more mass shootings, and accelerated rate of destruction of our environment. To view a dynamic, comprehensive presentation  of Project 2025.  Click the image below

A team of MCDC members created  detailed summary of Project 2025, which can be viewed HERE.

Democrats Delivered Under Biden - Harris

A Democratic  administration would have continued to carry out their vision of  strength, equity and opportunity and mandate to serve American people both at home and around the world by negotiating with Congress and foreign leaders and allies.  Two useful resources for understanding the scope of their  accomplishments can be seen in this interactive map of 73,000 projects, and in this LIST of programs and actions Democrats enacted.
