I deleted a series of comments assuring me that Trump is at worst just another bad President and that comparisons to the Nazis are, in effect, silly. I disagree, but it isn't a productive debate: anyone who doesn't recognize the danger isn't going to (at least until it is too late). As for myself, I agree with David Frum (not something I would have expected a decade ago): if our democracy and indeed our civilization survives Trump, it won't be because the threat wasn't real, but because enough people recognized the danger and acted to meet it.

So, the GOP is now the party of Russian subversion:

and defended by the idiot Left (see The Nation, or for that matter Bernie, who says we mustn't "rush to judgement" over the obvious).

Nationalists on the Right allying with Socialists on the Left against liberal democracy. Perhaps we can call them National Socialists.

Meanwhile The New Yorker runs a story on how Trump's rural voters support him because the Left (by which they mean not the Left  but supporters of liberal democracy, though they are too ignorant to know it) hates Trump for the same reason we hate them.

To which I reply, if you say so. If you share Trump's racism, sexism, bigotry, greed, corrupt authoritarianism and willful ignorance, then yes, I hate you and for the exact same reasons.

And you deserve it.
