“The presidency has limited powers. The Constitution is about the separation of powers – we do not want an imperial presidency.”
When politicians cannot defend their record on the economy, healthcare, or foreign policy, they turn to ancient playbook tactics: racial scapegoating and religious slurs.
On The MPAC Podcast, Salam Al-Marayati addresses Donald Trump’s rhetoric labeling political opponents as “jihadists”. Instead of engaging in policy debates with candidates like Abdul El-Sayed over universal healthcare or foreign military spending, politicians use manufactured culture wars to divide communities.
American democracy depends on upholding the rule of law and enforcing constitutional checks on executive overreach. We must stay focused on the issues that actually impact everyday Americans: affordable healthcare, ending endless wars, and demanding representative governance.
