I am sorry, but I am so tired of the "save democracy", "threat of democracy" canard with respect to Trump that I simply cannot take the writer seriously. It is an intellectually bankrupt meme that has been repeated so many times that it has lost its meaning even if it had been based on anything real... which it had never been.

The only real threat to democracy that we have experienced has been from the left administrative authoritarians throughout the pandemic. As these power-hungry talent-less politicians and bureaucrats have drunkenly granted themselves emergency powers, they then went to work abusing those emergency powers to their maximum potential... deleting any and all voices of the people that might oppose as their families, children and businesses were irreparably and unnecessarily harmed.
