Our Trumpistas are defending autocracy in America. Will our Trumpistas ever wake up to who they are defending here? I don't know about anyone else, but I doubt it. Part of an educated electorate they are not. Well, who knows, maybe someday the scales will fall from their eyes and they will actually wake up, although methinks they actually prefer a monarch....

"The current President of the United States is not compatible with a constitutional republic. The two cannot coexist. Day by day, Donald Trump, American president,
is laying waste to the pillars of democracy, determined to destroy any institution that might provide a check on his power or provide an avenue to hold him accountable for what he has done."
"He has first and foremost attacked the separation of powers laid out in the Constitution, wherein Congress is a co-equal branch of government to the Executive and has the authority to investigate the administration and provide oversight of the president's activities."
"He embarked on an unprecedented campaign of obstruction on congressional subpoenas..... This has culminated in his lawyers' argument, in court,
that Congress actually has no power to investigate malfeasance by the president and his aides-and that, consequently,
Watergate was an illegitimate investigation."
"The president has waged war on the institution of the free press, attempting not just to undermine the credibility of news organizations that provide information independent from his regime,
but also to cast journalists as Enemies of the State."
"....many instances where Donald Trump has embraced political violence from the rally podium. This month,
he cracked a "joke" after a rally attendee yelled about shooting immigrants at the border."
"And lastly, he has sought to destroy the independent system of justice and the rule of law, which provide a platform for the republic to function."
"There is no longer any need to imagine what American Authoritarianism might look like. It is here. The president is a would-be autocrat. He will annihilate our constitutional republic via one thousand cuts if he is allowed to continue wielding the immense power we have so inexplicably given him.
He has broken the law for much of his adult life and gotten away with it because
nobody ever looked behind his golden curtain. Now he's broken the law while occupying the most heavily scrutinized office in the history of the world, and the only way to once again escape accountability for what he's done is to destroy any institution or mechanism of democracy that would allow the public to hold him accountable."
