My point of contention with Trump has always been that, either by abusing executive powers, undermining institutions, disregarding norms and mustering support for it from the so-called conservative party, alienating portions of the electorate, or all of the above, he is creating circumstances that make those threats to liberty, which you identified, more likely.
Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke and their promises to violate the constitution are a direct result of Trump in the same way you guys feel Trump is a direct result of Obama.
Passing laws where the government can ban you for saying words isn’t a result of Trump . It’s progressive thinking . They think they can regulate everyone into equality .
Promising to do it without legislation, promising to pack the Supreme Court, promising to eliminate the filibuster... those are a result of the progressive base seeing Trump do all these things and saying “we want that too.”
Just so we are all clear here....Trump both openly and privately has asked a foreign nation to investigate a political opponent to affect the outcome of an election. This is illegal and unconstitutional, more so than lying about a blowjob. Everyone arguing here is aware of this right?
Uh Pedo quid pro Joe was already under investigation before he decided to run. So now that he’s a candidate you guys want to move the goal post.Just so we are all clear here....Trump both openly and privately has asked a foreign nation to investigate a political opponent to affect the outcome of an election.

Changing to far left of center is a policy shift. I’m talking about the procedures by which that policy is implemented.Wait what ? You are going to force me to do a whataboutism here . Nobody is forcing the progressives to do anything . By nature it’s their natural “ progression “ to want more things their way . The left is changing into the left of left center , and there are things that stand in their way . Trump and the Constitution . I would argue we have a Trump BECAUSE of the hard left not the other way around .

You’re right in that it didn’t start with Trump and I acknowledged that, earlier.
