Josh Marshall re-posted two of his essays from the day Trump was elected and the day he was inaugurated. Marshall has always been very insightful into Trump's character. He understood Trump earlier than most, and his predictions and observations have mostly held true.
The fears for American democracy are both real and overstated in Trumpistan. I shudder to think what could happen if Democrats fail to win back one of the Houses of Congress next November. But Trump is not dragging us towards Erdogan's Turkey or Putin's Russia. He's dragging us to the Jim Crow South, towards the internment camps of 1942. We beat those once. We can beat them again.
