Is it really Democracy Trump is threatening or is it civil society?

The fact that the former Governor of Missouri, and currently Senate candidate for same state, thought it was a good idea to produce a video, showing him storming a house, in full battle gear, to hunt RINOs, tells you that the real threat is to civil society.

Since trump announced that he was running for President, I've been wary of painting him as the evil mastermind who wants to tear down democracy etc etc etc. For sure, he represents everything that I find most abhorrent in the human condition (as do his his supporters) but, one of those abhorrent characteristics is wanton stupidity. He simply does not have the intelligence, focus or determination to pull any of this off.

He's a callous, unprincipled yob whose narcissism when coupled with his abject stupidity makes him believe all of his bullshit.

No, what's happening in America is not some evil plot devised by trump so that he can stay in power. It's the culmination of 250 years of Americans believing one myth after another whilst revelling in the destruction of those around them "so long as I've got mine Jack".

I still say Trump is a symptom. Not the cause. Sure he emboldens the knuckledraggers. But society produces them.. And until you make the changes to society and allow them to bed in, the Trumps will keep coming.😷

How about BOTH!

Yeah, like one sided fake trials that don't allow opposition.

Unfortunately, the country is forced into a 50/50 split towards the left or the right. There is no middle ground even though the majority of voters are moderates. I don't see Trump trying to destroy democracy or civility, I see him trying to destroy the Washington "Status Quo".

"I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Definitely both. It's to the point where you tell people that behaving in a certain way is rude, offensive, or whatever, and you just don't do that in polite society, and they respond with "Lol, cope, snowflake!" Nobody wants to be even remotely polite. And as you say, vigilantism and lawlessness run directly counter to the idea of a civilized society.

Trump threatens the democrat party.
Cuz, Trump is FOR America, and gets stuff done.
Those are two things that democrats do not like.

i do hope President Trump pays you well

It's definitely both that are threatened by conservatives, not just Trump.

Ttally depends on who is asking the question, and to what end.

Does a pig sty stink?

Both.
