I think we value our right to vote and directly participate in the political process as much as we value our gun rights, our property rights, our wealth and value life in general.
I don't think so. Republicans think a president has every right to help determine his own election by using the powers of his office to smear his opponent with lies. Trump is obviously a wannabee dictator, and the Republicans would be fine with this.
Some Republicans did not approve of Nixon doing stuff similar to this. Nowadays, they are different. Trump's violations are much more serious than Nixon's, and yet his approval from his party is much greater.
