'He’s doubling down': Ex-Obama staffer explains how Trump plans 'to turn America into an autocracy'

During Monday's episode of MSNBC's The ReidOut, former President Barack Obama's ex-campaign manager David Plouffe emphasized why another four years with former President Donald Trump as president would be "one of the biggest mistakes" to occur in the history of the world.

"You know, David Plouffe, we know that [ex-Trump senior advisor for policy] Stephen Miller, who ironically is the grandson of Holocaust survivors, is fixated on remaking the racial composition of this country," Reid said. "By deportation, mass deportation and returning to a 1920s era immigration policy that essentially will only let in white Europeans. We know that Donald Trump still talks to [ex-Fox News host] Tucker Carlson despite Tucker Carlson having said he despises him and they share a view that non-white immigrants have made the country dirty, have made the country unseemly, and that they need to return power essentially to white men, and they're very open about it.

She emphasized, "They don't hide it. And yet, what you're seeing is this ideology being transmuted outside of just white conservative Republicans into other ethnicities, into other ethnic groups are seeing this as this is a possibility. Donald Trump isn't losing support. He's gaining it with this open call to turn the United States essentially into a giant white-ethno state. How is that possible, and what is the counter to it?"

Plouffe replied, "Well, Joy, I guess I would start where you start, which is, you know, the danger of giving him a redo would be one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the planet in global history. Because I do think, he won't be as successful probably as he would like, but he's going to organize his government and an outside game here to try to be much more effective to accomplish vetting, which is to turn America into an autocracy where he rules and then Don Jr. rules and then Ivanka rules. And basically, white men, you know, have all the power in this country, maybe with the exception of Ivanka."

The former Obama staffer continued, "So what I would say is most of the people that are going to decide this election, people right now in polls who might say, 'you know, all things equal, maybe I would vote for Trump.' People who are still undecided, progressives and young people who haven't decided who to vote for or whether to vote, they don't know this is what he's doing to do. So we have to understand that's what the campaign is for. The campaign is to feed this because the percentage of Americans that would support -- by the way, it's scary how high it is, maybe 30%, maybe 35%, but it's not 50%. And you need to feed this to them each and every day so you raise the stakes of the election and the important point you raised is you have to make sure voters understand there is only one way to save the country. And it is to vote for Joe Biden.

Plouffe concluded, "And any vote to these third parties is vote for Trump. Because Trump, I don't know, you know, I worry about these latest polls because he is at 49%, 50%, 51%, higher than he's ever been, but I think it will look different in the spring, but he's not going to fall below like 45%. So if there's too many third party votes, he's going to win. So that's what the campaign is for, is to make sure that all this stuff that we're spending all the time seeing, which again is deeply, deeply unpopular, so this is not a guy who just decided, 'You know what, I lost in '20, my party was awful in '18, we got our butt kicked in '22, we just had a bad election week. I need to change.' He's doubling down on basically, you know, destruction of this country. And we have to explain that and explain why that's important."
