“Donald Trump sent a mob to overturn the 2020 election. He called for the termination of all constitutional provisions that prevented his immediate reinstatement. He made it clear that if he regained the presidency, he would extend his abuse of the office. Kamala Harris warned voters repeatedly that Trump would try to rule (as he half-jokingly affirmed) like a dictator. But they re-elected him anyway. This raises serious questions about our country. Did Trump’s voters back him because of his authoritarian inclinations or in spite of them?” (11/11/24)
