In the opinion section of today's NYT, we are told by Michelle Goldberg our hair should be on fire at the prospect of another tRump presidency. Meanwhile, in another essay, Matthew Schmitz, an avowed conservative tells us the disgraced, indicted former president is not an authoritarian. He is merely a pragmatic centrist who seeks consensus.
My brain is virtually exploding at the disingenuousness of Schmitz' premise. The only thing which prevented Orange Julius from going full on dictator was the majority of his cabinet and advisors still at least professed to believe in small d democracy. They thwarted tRump's worst power plays. The next time around, Cheeto Jesus will stock the executive branch with enablers who will cater to his every whim.
So, yes, our hair should be on fire and we should be doing everything in our power to elect Biden and as many Democrats as possible.
