Trumpism is still a looming threat to our Democracy

[UCmeNdc]

Donald Trump has shown an unusual interest for an ex-president in down-ballot races around the country -- often at odds with the Republican Party he continues to dominate.

The twice-impeached one-term president has endorsed seemingly random candidates in primary elections for state senate, secretary of state and even Staten Island borough president, but they all have have some type of link to his failed efforts to overturn his own 2020 election loss, reported Politico.

"Donald Trump is continuing to add to the chaos in the Republican Party [and] it's confusing the average Republican voter," said Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a Republican critic who is not seeking re-election. "The only question that seems to matter when Trump is making his endorsements is: 'Are you with us on the election conspiracy stuff?' Not, 'Do you believe in smaller government? Do you support law enforcement? Do you believe in lower regulations?' Instead, it's, 'Are you with me?'"

2. Trumpism is just a "new and improved" version of authoritarianism...

not really anything new in it, and our Democracy/Republic have always been in danger from it and always will be.
