Journalists: Trump is a fascist. He wants to rule the United States as an unaccountable dictator. Given the Republican Party's broad contempt for fair elections, civil liberties, and the rule of law, this could happen.

Your necessary role in political coverage of the upcoming elections is to be activists in defense of democracy.

When the hell are you going to wake up and realize that?

@dangillmor if democracy is broken or at least not delivering what people want (or are told they want) then they will turn to dictatorship. The message should not be that Trump is a dictator but about how democracy can be revived and how to solve the real problems the country is facing. Slagging off the opposition is never an adequate argument
