      A thoughtful contribution, thank you. Ideological opposites allying for the greater good is also what I tried to help build in Russia against Putin. We'd be on opposite sides in a parliament, but at least we'd have one.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/1036241825500200961 …

      Similarly, my lack of forgiveness comes from experience. The USSR fell, but the KGB was never rooted out in the rush to celebrate & move on. No accountability, no truth commissions. Putin was the result, just 8 years later.

      People should know that their choices come with a price. Feel empathy if you can, but don't act from pity because we know such people don't have any for us when they have power.

      When Trump took office, I called it a test, a wake-up call that would leave America stronger, more united, more aware of the value of its founding principles. If that doesn't happen, Trump has won regardless of the election results.

          Working with demagogues and autocrats is like working with cancer. You fight it. You cut it out. These aren't political differences, it's deciding if we're going to have politics at all.

          With @renew_democracy, this coalition concept is global, asking all who value the principles of liberal democracy to fight to defend them against extremists & autocrats on all sides. Then we can get back to arguing amongst ourselves!

          And yes, I am intolerant of intolerance, as Popper put it. You do not collaborate with those who would destroy you. You do not debate with those who wish to end all debate.

          Yes. But remember Trump is possible because of over 40 years of patient coordinated work by skilled operators with unlimited resources. The end of Trump will be only a minor bump in their road.

          Listen to Mr. Kasparov, he knows what he's talking about. I'm living in an autocratic country right now. It's not fun, it's not pretty, in fact it's downright scary. The old cliche, you don't know what you got till it's gone, rings truth.

          Unfortunately, I’m totally convinced that you have spoken an absolute truth. I want to be optimistic, but I must also realize and accept a horrible future if Trump and GOP are not stopped. Being a Pollyanna will not help us.

          You wouldn't know a founding principle if it fell in your lap. America was founded on the principle of individual rights and limited government which was trampled on under @BarackObama and strengthened under @realDonaldTrump. Checkmate.
