When Hitler got involved in politics most saw him as a clown. Then the clown began solidifying a formidable following, giving his weak followers as many scapegoats as they needed, and watering down dangers of tearing democracy. By the time people stopped laughing at his buffoonery they could no longer stop his power grabbing.
So far trump has managed to prep you mouth breathers to accept all his attempts to peel away at democracy. You keep refusing to see any danger, you keep denying he is anti-democratic, and you keep swallowing all his lies and directing your anger, shortcomings and frustrations at "libs".
This is why Ds will continue to campaign successfully on trump. I happen to follow politics and current events, but even if I didn't the choice would be crystal clear to me... for as long as someone like the orange menace is the leader of a major party and that party supports him, I'm by default voting for the opposition.
