      Trump could still fizzle out but if he doesn't, he represents a real challenge to USA institutions, one they might not be able to handle

      What keeps a democracy from descending into authoritarian demagoguery? Institutions like strong political parties & critical press.

      In case of Trump, GOP has already proven it lacks strength to stand up to Trump's bullying, lies and bigotry.

      Media has been better at challenging Trump but even with them "view from nowhere" approach means many lies unchallenged.

      The Trump problem goes beyond Trump. It's a problem of the institutions that allow Trump to flourish -- and will aid & abet future Trumps.

          @HeerJeet Trump has already served the perverse function of "normalizing" Cruz.

          @yeselson @HeerJeet Very apt and insightful, Richard. Making Ted Cruz boring in fact.

          @HeerJeet What institutions? His supporters don't care about institutions. They despise most of them. Based not on reason, but on dogma.

          @HeerJeet Mailer's 2003 speech ("Fascism is more of a natural state than democracy.") seems prescient. @nybooks has it paywalled, tho

          @HeerJeet @jwomack The primary institution enabling Trump, unfortunately, is an uninformed apathetic electorate.
