      The constant challenge with Donald Trump is to remain aware of his manifest personal flaws, and avoid sliding into denial or amnesia - but not constantly obsess over telling people things everybody already knows about him.

      Yes, Trump is a bad person unsuited to the presidency. Yes, that matters. No, it's not the only thing that matters.

      The character of the chief executive is important. But to say it is the only thing that matters is to say that all public policies are identical. That is nonsense. https://twitter.com/trogdor8768/status/1303026335518994434 …

      Yes, I always try to remind people: you cannot avert your eyes from who Trump is or what Ds are. You vote Trump, you accept an unfit man. Vote Biden, you choose policies & theories of governance that permanently damage the country & its institutions.https://twitter.com/Patterico/status/1303020237223149571 …

      I think a lot of people do the opposite; they ignore his atrocities because hey, what else do you expect from this guy? It perpetrates a numbness to statements and events people should not be numb to. (Example: "He encouraged people to vote twice? Oh, well, no surprise there...") https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1303017784201351170 …

      Either voters are responsible for the whole package or they aren't. You can't plausibly argue that reluctant Trump voters aren't on the hook for his lying and outrageous actions, but all Biden voters are responsible for every judge he picks.

      Either way, you own both. Still not sure if I could pull the trigger on Trump, but on the two biggest issues there are - the five-decade-long struggle to overturn Roe, & the survival of the American democratic rule-of-law system - the stakes are extraordinarily high.

          I think Trump represents the greatest threat to the rule of law I have seen in my lifetime.

          The greatest in my lifetime was William Brennan. And his influence remains pervasive.

          At what point do we wrestle with the fact that overturning Roe v Wade will likely not have the overwhelming impact on decreasing abortion that it has been marketed to have? Abortions have been declining for decades no matter which party holds power

          for the record, democrats do this too. "we will protect Roe v Wade" vs "We will overturn Roe v Wade" are two sides of the same lackluster talking point when it comes to actually decreasing unplanned, unwanted pregnancies that result in abortions.

          Can you elaborate here? Are the Democrats so bad and their ideas so dangerous and our system so weak that elevating a Democrat as President will do irreparable damage? This seems to go beyond policy disagreement and into a world where half the country’s voters are dangerous

          I’m sure you’d roll your eyes at the argument that electing a generic Republican President would destroy our democratic system and rule of law. So why make the same argument about the Dems? Are the ideas of the average Democrat that inimical to our system of government?
