homersapien 10,953 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I thought this was a brilliant article, naturally so since it mirrors my opinion of Trump. While I sincerely believe Trump is a threat to our democracy, I never really anticipated him assuming power in the way of traditional authoritarians. Our government is too complicated and stuctured with check and balances to allow that. However, this article describes a much more realistic threat of Trump turning out liberal democracy into a far more illiberal one, which might take decades to reverse. Meanwhile, our problems will only get worse. It's a relatively long read, but well worth the time. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/22/14658062/donald-trump-illiberalism-losing Donald Trump is dangerous when he’s losing Trump’s failures at governing feed his illiberalism.
