Can Trump Save Democracy from Itself?

From the mainstream American Conservative. Everything being done against Trump (“to turn populist uprisings like Trump’s into a matter for the criminal justice system, rather than political contestation”) is piurely political, trying to prevent the will of the people from being felt. See, removing a fascist from the ballot is the greatest anti-democratic thing ever. The first impeachment was “based on flimsy allegations about a phone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president.” Talk about misconstruing the facts.

He sees this as a Deep State conspiracy not as a populist uprising of its own.

And this is why even moderate Republicans will vote for Trump. It is a cult.

I have never thought of American Conservative as mainstream; hasn’t it always been far-right? One of its founding members is Pat Buchanan. So fanatic right-wing publication whose views are without merit and toxic to our nation.
