I see the gross misconduct of Donald Trump, and it all resembles dictatorial practice. The water cannons have yet to be used, but it looked much the same in Poland in the 1980's as it did in Kukluxistan in the early 1960's.
All that I ask is that the GOP go back to being humane and sane. We need that!
You see the misconduct of Trump but you missed the greater act of misconduct by the liberal Democrats in the House when it voted to impeach Trump.
Trying to blackmail the President of another country to interfere in the US election made impeachment a necessity. Even if the Democrats failed to get an impeachment in the Senate, the defense of Trump was strictly on Party lines.
It's moot now. That's nothing in contrast to the bungled response to COVID-19.

DO YOU GET IT!!!!!!!
Your idea of what constitutes America and my idea of what constitutes America are utterly incompatible.
I'm not all that radical. I now find that the best arguments against Donald Trump are conservative arguments. The next best are statistical arguments.
It's late July, and the polls generally show him losing by a huge margin. The calendar is becoming the definitive enemy of the Trump campaign. The campaign might tighten up as Biden concentrates on ensuring a narrower but more certain win .
Team Biden might compare to a football team with a big lead, but not one yet decisive because it is too early. Maybe Trump gets to consolidate wins in state that he must win yet not enough to get to 270 electoral votes. But if Trump gambles he wastes resources on states that are extreme long-shots for him. If he loses those, then he opens states that he absolutely must win well short of 270 for him -- like Texas. So he plays for Minnesota and loses Texas. 270 or 420 for Biden -- the legal consequences are the same. He will be President.
OH, by the way -- you do not want to argue with me on statistics and probability.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
