Toro misses the point on Donald Trump -- the reason we want him to win, is not because we idolize or demagogue him, but because we so vehemently don't want people like Toro to be in charge. We look up and see the Democrat party tightly aligned with mainstream media outlets, and social media platforms, not to mention much of Hollywood and professional sports, while simultaneously using all the powers of the Federal Government to crush us, and yes, we've had enough. Vivek Ramaswamy is right on point when he says that January 6th wasn't about Trump, but about the Left so completely controlling the narrative and censoring us into oblivion for the year leading up to January 6th that yes something ugly happened. The Constitution sets limits on the Federal Government, not limits on the people. The Government doesn't give us our rights, we have those just by being here, they are inalienable, so you can't give them to us or take them away. I am woefully fatigued by the extreme right as much as I am by the extreme left, but my gut tells me that our side needs an overwhelming victory - White House, Congress, Senate, Statehouses, Governors, City Councils, School Boards - in 2024 or our slide into totalitarianism by the left might become insurmountable.
We have to remind ourselves - sometimes gently and sometimes harshly - that the founding fathers gave us a constitutional democratic republic with laws, rules and customs for among many other things the orderly transfer of power and the right to petition our government peacefully. No matter what our grievances are, bad things happen when we decide to step outside of the confines of the constitution to right what we perceive as a wrong. (Good things happen when we take the time and expend the energy needed to amend the constitution.) It is no accident that we are the longest lived republic the world has ever known.
The only important case against Donald Trump is the voters' case. His election proved two things. 1- Voters prefer to be governed by people they perceive to be like themselves. 2- Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate. The fact that he showed well against Joe Biden should be hint to Democrats that they are way far left of the mainstream. But the hint won't be taken. Instead, they will have their ears attuned to the mainstream press/liberal pressure group axis

Protecting people like Trump and his supporters is the entire purpose of the US Constitution.
I stopped reading after the first two paragraphs which just set up a strawman.
If i want to read strawman caricatures of the Right, I can read the NY Times.
