The assault was attempted, continuing, and not yet successful.  Had it been successful who knows how far a malignant narcissist in the mould of whole host of despots would go? Sorry your naivety is such you can't see the evil side of human nature when it's staring you in the face.

 

Birds of a feather I suppose.

Sounds like a long winded way of saying none so far.

That person tried to shoot me, but he missed, so what changed? Just keep going about your day since nothing happened. No need to bring them to court. No harm, no foul.

The analogy doesn’t work.

Seems like the cult of personality is winning out.

Funny you think that’s what it’s about.

"The primary argument in How Democracies Die, by Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky, is that the survival of a democratic regime against an authoritarian threat usually comes down to choices made by ideological allies of the authoritarian side. They can decide either to support an authoritarian party or leader that advances their policy agenda, or break from their natural allies and defend the system. According to their historical study of threats against democratic regimes, when the authoritarian candidate’s allies defect and join with their natural ideological opponents to save the system, democracies survive.

When they stay loyal to their normal partners on the other hand, democracy perishes."

 

"That fate of American democracy is the biggest issue in American politics. The system survived Trump’s often-clumsy efforts to subvert it. But the threat is far from over."

 

"The Republican party is sliding into authoritarianism at a terrifyingly rapid clip. To stand by is to let it happen. Republicans who have reservations about this trend have tried quiet hand-wringing for five years. It hasn’t worked. Somebody has to fight back, and Cheney has volunteered for the role."

So a massive hurricane is predicted for your South Carolina home on the beach, it moves south as it approaches land and hit Florida. Therefore, there are no more worries about a hurricane ever hitting South Carolina again and your beach front home is perfectly fine forever. No need to look into what could have been or what may occur following the impact elsewhere.

Apparently future GOP presidential candidate DeSantis likes this page from the trump playbook.

 

 

That's a disqualification from public office right there. Next.
