Editorial: The New York Times

• Donald Trump does not provide a normal Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal option, but rather a more significant choice for the future of the United States.
• His willingness to exploit fear and hate for political gain, undermining the law and the Constitution, is criticized.
• His presidency caused enduring damage to the nation and the presidency, exacerbating divisions and undermining the stability of American democracy.
• Project 2025, a coalition of right-wing organizations, is preparing for a full-on assault on the structures of American government.
• Trump was impeached twice as president and since leaving office has faced four criminal cases.
• He continues to display a lack of remorse or understanding that his actions can carry consequences.
• His attempts at foreign affairs are dangerously misguided and incoherent.

Conclusion: Re-electing Mr. Trump would present serious dangers to our Republic and to the world. This is a time for not sitting out but rather re-engaging. We appeal to Americans to set aside their political differences.
