I’m glad he wrote the last sentence. I think any rational effort to argue that the damage Trump can do is limited is wildly off base. It may well be that, if he wins and after he does damage that will take decades if ever to recover from, some set of sensible people will react. But we didn’t see any of that on the right during his so called presidency. There is no evidence what so ever that the current Republican Party will resist him at all. I think Biden will win a two candidate race; I don’t think he will win if there are multiple third parties. We came within about 80,000 votes and the efforts of a tiny number of honest election officials of a coup. A next time will be worse.
When I take the broadest view possible, I think America is trending back toward honesty and sincerity. Until just recently Trump's attack on the dishonest left was all the normal middle class had to hold on to. I know Trump is neither but the reason Trump has such a hold is the comparative scolding fraudulence of the left. Christians actually said it best "Sometimes you need a devil to fight the Devil." But something has changed in just the past few days. For example, today the president of Columbia, admitting there really is antisemitism at Columbia sounded honest and forthright; Americans love Taylor Swift, and after the failed Iran attack, most Americans are finally realizing Iran is the bad guy and not Israel. I think Trump will lose, and I also think Biden is in for some very hard times nonetheless. But something has broken. Perhaps we finally recovered from COVID. Its like the middle somehow just said "That is enough!"
No problem with this on the whole, but a conservative-leaning Supreme Court is a danger to democracy? Really?
