“The reality is this: Donald Trump ran the most cravenly cruel and overtly fascist campaign of any major party candidate in modern American history, he was already a known quantity for his first term and for attempting to overturn an election result—and more voters chose him than any other candidate. Trump is a bad choice, an incompetent and evil man who surrounds himself with incompetent and evil men, and yet he was the choice of a plurality of American voters. There is a temptation to argue that under some better institutional arrangement, something closer to True Democracy, voters would never have erred so badly, but that can only take you so far.” (01/03/25)
