Trump Tells Supporters: "This Is Your Country, Not Theirs"

[Content Note: Authoritarianism; stochastic terrorism.]

A friend of mine has signed up for Donald Trump's email list using her dog's name so that she can keep tabs on what he's communicating to supporters, and occasionally she forwards a particularly egregious missive to me.

Today, she sent me the following screenshot of his latest (identifying info blacked out by me):

In case you can't view the image, it reads (emphases original):

[Redacted Name],

Let me be clear. Since the day I took my famous escalator ride in 2015 to announce my presidential campaign, the Democrat harassment, fake news attacks, and blatant lies have never been about me...

Their target has always been you.

The liberal swamp hates the idea of people like, [Redacted Name and Location] being in charge of America, and there is no line they won't cross to prevent that from happening. Just look at the Phony Witch Hunt - NO COLLUSION.

In 2016, I was simply your voice, but YOU were the one that took our country back and made the liberal swamp and political insiders FURIOUS.

Now headed into 2020, we have to remind them that this is your country, not theirs.

Since you've been such an important part of our movement, I wanted to give you this exclusive opportunity to become an Official 2019 Trump Executive Member and receive your PERSONALIZED membership card.

That was followed by a fundraising pitch. The sitting President of the United States is fundraising off of saying that anyone who doesn't support him doesn't have a stake in this country.

He is demonizing us as enemies of the state by suggesting that we don't belong here and will do anything to stop a "real American" from leading the nation.

This is part of Trump's escalating war on dissidents, and it is stochastic terrorism.
