The Dictator-in-Waiting Is Oranged, Rested, and Ready
Robert Kagan proceeds exhaustively through the reasons that we should be concerned that Donald Trump could once again be president (gift link). This time, Trump is telling us, he will be ready to use all the levers of power to imprison and kill his enemies, to end the free press, and to build camps for the vermin. That last reminds us that he will also whip up as many Americans as he can to help in these goals.
It’s an outstanding article. Kagan is not one of my favorite authors, but he’s got this one nailed. Share it with your Trumpy relatives for the holidays. And act.
Share it with your friends who are looking for Johnny Unbeatable. It’s time for those of us who want the United States to continue as a democracy to stop acting out our anxieties and do everything we can to get Joe Biden re-elected. (Whiners in the comments saying all is lost support Trump.)
And if you need a shorter version, here’s a gift link to Alexandra Petri.
