| After New Hampshire votes on Tuesday, Joe Biden will likely be the last person standing between us and a second term for Donald Trump. Democrats are warning that if their guy doesn’t win, it will mean the end of American democracy. Every four years, presidential campaigns and headlines always claim that this election is the most important one ever. Is it possible that Trump’s dangers are being overhyped? He says he wants to be dictator, then specifies that what he means is drilling for oil and closing the border. (What?) He tried to overturn the 2020 election, but ultimately left office. Feeling unsure of the stakes himself, David Freedlander asked Trump’s own intellectual defenders to make their case that we’re all wrong, “hoping to find someone who, in good faith, could reassure the anxious among us that a second Trump presidency won’t spell the end of democracy as we have known it.” |
