Hollywood icon Glenn Close incinerates Trump in the wake of Alex Pretti's murder, says that MAGA has "systematically disemboweled" and "torn apart" our democracy while spreading "cruelty" and "cowardice."

This is a gloves-off takedown for the ages...

"Since what happened again in Minneapolis, I just feel compelled to say something, so I've actually written something that I'm going to read," Close said. "I have been mostly out of the U.S. since this past September, so I've watched for the rest of the world, our democracy being systematically disemboweled and torn apart, along with the institutions which in the near past, though never perfect, have stabilized our society and supported the American people."

"I am outraged and sickened by what is happening under the Trump regime, the cruelty, inhumanity, and arrogance, the voracious corruption, the cowardice, the sickening hypocrisy, the blatant manipulation of facts, and now the cold-blooded murder of American citizens," she continued.

"I have felt for a long time that there are thousands and thousands of American citizens with cellars full of guns," she said. "I fear that ICE is giving them the excuse to pull the trigger. Humans, our conflicted species, since we ventured out of the caves, we have been tribal, territorial, and violent. The United States of America has been tribal, territorial, and violent from the very beginning."

"Democracy is the most idealistic and ambitious form of government because it demands that all individuals participate for the good of everyone, for society. E pluribus unum, out of many, one," Close went on.

"Never perfect because we are imperfect, but at its core, the idea that all of us are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was revolutionary when it was conceived, and it still is. Not the pursuit of enemies or the pursuit of great riches that means the impoverishment of others, but of happiness. Democracy demands compromise, but compromise doesn't mean to sell out for personal gain or revenge."

"I feel, I sense, from over here that the great American body politic is stirring, waking up, and taking in what's going on, what the Trump regime is attempting to do to our beloved country and its citizens. It is waking up and taking note, and mark my words, there will be hell to pay," she concluded.

We hope that Close is right and America is waking up, but the fortunate reality is that we can do much more than just hope. We can organize, we can spread the truth, and we can vote en masse. Our country can save itself from this nascent fascist revolution, but only if we band together and reject it as one. The future belongs to us, but only if we bravely seize it.
