    I think you’re right about him not being the cause, but I’m not sure he’s just a symptom. At a minimum he’s certainly a catalyst.

      That’s where I disagree.

      trump just didn’t maintain a veneer of civility.

      But any Republican president would have done 99% of the same shit trump did.

      What would really be dangerous is someone that didn’t also run around admitting to all of their crimes, we barely are holding trump accountable and he’s completely blatant and unapologetic when breaking the rules.

      If it had been Paul Ryan or Jeb in 2016…

      We’d be even more fucked than now.
