Paradox of tolerance: Trump will end democracy and even more lives.
There is no way to know if he wouldnt have just turned into martyr and help elect someone even worse
No, the person most likely to end democracy will advocate rolling back freedoms to 'preserve' it, or to punish the wicked people that are considered their political enemies. The most likely person won't be a Democrat, but will almost certainly be a leftist that starts their own populist political party
Fascism has always been a right wing ideology. While leftists have made some terrible mistakes, you shouldn't pretend they are the only or main threat to democracy.
Leftists don't believe America can be saved, they wouldn't "roll back freedoms," whatever the heck that means, they would dismantle the state and build up a new one.
