I agree with the view that Trump blazed a path for future aspiring totalitarians. You make several excellent points, but I think your best is that Trump took “win at all costs” to a previously unknown place when he showed how to challenge an election that you have lost. Trump had one political goal-maintain power, no matter what. Win an election. If you lose, cry foul and litigate the results. Fortunately, General Millie’s speech last summer disabused him of the thought of using the military to launch a coup. It will take time to restore American society.
