The public good

It would not be hyperbole to suggest that a second Trump presidency would mean the county has bought into the idea of autocracy. The typical core GOP voter isn't the problem as they are completely a lost cause but instead more those who would hold their nose and vote for him because of a deep disdain for Biden and the Dems.

For the record, I don't think that Trump will really get there in part because I am counting on some resolution on those numerous court cases and indictments but it unnerves nevertheless when you see a criminal front runner as the likely choice to lead your country.

This helps me understand more how authoritarians were able to gain power and clearly it hinges not just on apathy and gullibility in being fed misinformation but regretably also on a darker aspect of humanity which thinks of the self instead of the overall public good.
