Yes, we need to be rational, and not lose our minds.

However, Trump is pulling all of the levers of authoritarianism.

The biggest threat we face is normalizing the abnormal.

This thread, in a quest for reason, is itself going too far.

We need to push back hard on this, because the GOP is terrified of losing power, and will not resist the slide toward authoritarianism... Because that side moves in their direction.
