      I've been involved in the debate about Trump's authoritarianism/fascism from the beginning, and have held consistently to one side of the argument. (Against.) But it's been the weirdest experience in that four years later, I still am not sure what is driving the debate. It's

      definitely not a liberals versus left debate because some of the most forceful opponents of my side of the argument are very much on the left. Am still trying to figure out what drives it, aside from the obvious fact that we read the evidence very differently, which is not the

      cause of the debate but its symptom. Would be interested to hear others' (preferably dispassionate and not accusatory) thoughts of why they think it is that the two sides come down so differently.

      It's based on the degree to which people consider intent rather than consequences to be a factor in judging a political actor.

          That's not true. Some of the people who argue most forcefully for the authoritarianism thesis will tell you, in other contexts, that the good intentions of a politician don't matter at all.

          I think the dividing line is between those who believe in the durability of American institutions and those who believe they are fundamentally fragile or rotten. That question doesn't break left/liberal.

          Precisely the problem: Intent and imagination are highly subjective and do not lend itself to dispassionate criticism and analysis.

          Kant-ish Deontology vs consequentialism is the best I can figure after four years People are really invested in not calling it a coup/fascism until after it has happened, even if the rudimentary intent can easily be qualified I get the argument for eg genocide, but not this
