A liberal case for Donald Trump: The lesser of two evils is not at all clear in 2016

13. I don't buy your assumption that "Trump will not transform America's oligarchy into a fascist

dictatorship, nor is he the second coming of Hitler. Our political culture precludes such a shift within any one presidency..." Yes, our institutions have more depth than Trump realizes, and, yes, the system is fairly robust and resilient. But one need only look at the damage Trump has already done, the things he does and says with impunity, to realize how very dangerous he is. There are thousands of children who have been taken from their immigrant parents and may never be reunited. We've just ceded the Middle East to Russian and Iran. But for the loyalty of patriotic civil servants and Democratic Congress members, we would have to take seriously Trump's threats too stay on office for 20 years, to muzzle the press and imprison journalists, and deuce Congress to an impotent branch off government.
