My view of the NYT is that it’s agenda is clear in the Trump era


In a way I never saw previously. If there is a negative slant to take on a story about Trump, the Times will take it - so they would have the most dire take on this.

Which just means we wait and see with a wary eye. This would be more than an affront to American democracy. It would be an existential threat to it. I am more than happy to take a Sith nooo for that one - it would be overruling the will of the people, which could turn out to be a one-off, or could be the end of the experiment begun in 1790 or so.

I can understand skepticism about the seriousness of this. But no American anywhere on the political spectrum should be willing to tolerate it. Anyone who does turns Trumpistan from the fantasy kingdom into a reality.
