Democrats and other opponents of Donald Trump have been incredibly naive over the last four years. They simply can’t imagine that, in this wonderful country whose democracy has stood firm for over 200 years–except during the Civil War (1861-1865)–a fascist American President would do anything necessary to retain his hold on power.
In order to set aside our innate American naïveté and innocent prejudices about what is and is not conceivable, it is useful to simply imagine that the fascist Leader in the American White House is Adolf Hitler.
Is there anything Adolf Hitler might not do, in order to retain his hold on power?
That’s the intellectual exercise.
Now, what should American democrats and supporters of t’he Constitution do, or be prepared to do, to defend the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to lead the next government of the United States?

Donald Trump has failed and continues to fail to protect the American people from the coronoavirus.
By mid-July, 137,000 people had died so far. Projections were that 224,000 people might die from Covid-19 by November 1, 2020. We are on pace to exceed that prediction.
The reason the cornoavirus has killed so many people and is raging out of control in the United States, when other countries (e.g., in Europe) have largely brought the virus under control, is that the U.S. government effort is led by President Donald Trump.
