No one who listens to a wide range of news sources and gets a balanced perspective talks like this. If you agree with this you need to branch out and challenge yourself with different world views, even if it is difficult for you.
The thing is with the wide range of news sources, the two sides of ‘Does Trump and his close associates want to undermine democracy or not’ tends to boil down to:
Yes, and here’s a long list of concrete quotes and activities directly from Trump and his associates that explicitly declare their intent, including recordings.
Nuh-uh, the liberals!
Trump specifically wants an autocracy and has attracted like-minded folks who would want to advance that concept to their own purposes after Trump dies. The potentially more sane parts of the republican party have decided to ostracize those willing to stand up and object to Trump, notably including Romney and Cheney. Now that he’s stepping down, even Mitch McConnell seems to be corroborating accounts that, privately, he thought Trump needed to go.
He’s not a nuanced man and he has always been a megalomaniac that has always undermined everything around him if it meant he got a little ahead personally. I don’t understand how anyone can continue to give him the benefit of the doubt.
