It’s not just about conservative credentials or his slimy personal history. Donald Trump is a danger to the American ideals of a free and open society.

Good reminder that mostly anyone supporting Trump now that pretends to be offended when accused of voting fascist with replies like, “It’s this condescension that created Trump,” were saying the exact same things we’ve been saying all along until it no longer suited their interests

Crazy how it went from "he's a fascist!" to "okay, I guess we're doing fascism now..." so quickly.

I guess they got a lot of what they wanted last time around, but now they want to pump the breaks on the crazier stuff?
