It is mind boggling to me that people still talk about the authoritarian threat of Donald Trump, when in practice all his administration has actually done is ignore politicized, malicious supreme court rulings and give a firm no to the cult of disruptive public protest.
It's like these people can see the world their actions are creating, which is one where a dictator-like figure is inevitably conjured to fix a broken system... but cannot connect that they are personally responsible for causing the radicalism and system dysfunction they bemoan. Well actually, the elite figures probably know but accept it as a cost. But there is something truly evil about that. The emotional, criminal, and fracturing legacy of the DIE-caucus is sending every country it has touched into deep existential turmoil
