Its not 'uphold the system regardless of consequences' but ' I don't think potential consequences warrant overthrowing the system'

I'm aware of my own tendency to prioritise principles over consequences - eg, uphold liberalism even if it will destroy liberalism

Republicans painted Obama as Hitler, he obviously wasn't. I think that to a degree democrats have done the same with Trump.

Which is why decision easy 4 u but not ppl who think he's a danger to future of liberal democracy or even an existential threat.

I get it. I don't get why informed, intelligent, usually unbiased people like

But actually listening to him, beyond the buffoonery, makes me think he's bad but not Hitler-bad.

And if you're right (and I think dangerous incompetence more a danger with him than genocidal fascism) the decision is easy.

Yes. And I think that by really listening to the man you get the idea he's more of a Berlusconi than a Hitler.
