if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I'm not certain of. But if that is true, a historian will say what was next date tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed -- we're on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system, and it could be a week away.

What this man lacks the self-awareness to understand, is that the most present threat to our democracy is the degree to which he and his millions of indoctrinated cohorts believe this existential threat narrative.
I only state fact, when I state that humans, when under existential threat, are capable of any act of destruction. This man and the millions like him, self identify as people who would be on board with any act of destruction to avoid this religious doomsday belief they have. That is the threat our country faces.
