Republic that has existed in my lifetime, being born well after WWII. The USSR and Al Qaeda were enemies that had zero chance of taking us down. This Trump trash actually could destroy our democracy from within — and I really do think his hardcore supporters are 100% anti-democracy and pro authoritarian dictatorship, so long as they feel like the dictator is on their side. I don’t even really see how one denies that at this point — it’s what his whole phenomenon is really..

And the fact that seemingly normal people shrug it off or even are willing to vote for it for some inane self-centered reason is truly disappointing.
