It is sad to see so many people, including those on the Left or in the Democratic Party, criticize the idea of a Trump presidency without ever uttering the phrase: “No man or woman should have so much political power over others.” I agree with many of the moral criticisms of Trump as a leader, but don’t let them distract you from this broader truth.
It is strange but instructive how many Democratic criticisms of Trump circle back into criticisms of other, earlier, and now often irrelevant Republicans. That is simply a language of attack they are more comfortable with.
The good news, if that is what one should call it, is that the best criticisms of Trump involve the concept of individual liberty and freedom from arbitrary legal authority and pure presidential discretion. The bad news is that so few intellectuals have the relevant ideological vocabulary in that regard.
Left wingers seem hesitant to criticize Trump for being too authoritarian.
They’re fine with an all-powerful, oppressive government. They just want to be in charge. Perhaps they are afraid of Trump because he's so much like them.
Ah yes.
The usual dose of Lowdown for the day.

I assume you haven't already linked the latter because it doesn't exist.
Yes, but it's true.
I believe Trump would be a different kind of President, but not necessarily a bad one.
He can't be any worse than what we have now.

He absolutely is worse than what we have now, and only a blind partisan fool could miss that.
That is only true if your worldview is completely warped.

You can't prove reality to the uninitiated.
The proof is in the policies he claims to support.
What policies would that be?
