"You will get violence": Leading democracy expert says Trump is not runnng to win election.

[Collimator]

We are witnessing Trump telling America that if he doesn't get his way — regardless of democratic norms like elections or the rule of law — then you will get violence.

Donald Trump isn't playing a game based on democracy's rules.

A clear and level-headed examination of what is really at stake can be found in this exchange discussing the work of democracy expert Trygve Olson.

1. He's a dangerous dunce.

2. Thank you

Don the Dangerous Dunce. SO apt.

3. Exactly what we should expect from a rapist

4. Him and a social media Army? Really that's his only expertise...running at the typing fingers.

The news of a resurrection is much overblown. The burden of multiple indictments, pending convictions, is the real stuff being underestimated…I see the ex leader of the free world, cough, as done like dinner…hence the 15 candidates vying to unseat a former president…they see the writing on the jailhouse wall also.

The crown is up for grabs…only the corporate media is propping up the dead duck.

5. I agree, he is. He wants his followers to use violence.

He gets a rush at the thought of his followers engaging in violence for him.

And he enjoys claiming it's the fault of those getting attacked because they did something bad to him and that his followers are simply being true Americans defending America.

6. Lock him up.

7. So, if that's the case, bring it on and let's

get it over with. Our democracy is definitely worth saving, even if it means fighting every one of his magats, one at a time. Frankly, I'd rather they were all deported en masse to a country more compatible with their worldview... somewhere like somalia, afghanistan, or maybe hungary, since they seem to love Orban so much... but if it's a fight they want, well, I do believe my oath is still in effect until the day I die.

8. He's a coward who's scared to death of a puppy begging for a treat.

But he's great at playing fools to do his dirty work.

ALL he has is violence, and that serves his master, Putin.

That said, Putin can incite mass violence without the risk of these trials exposing "The Putin Papers" ... (WHICH THEY WILL DO) ... the real plot behind this that Barr and McConnell concealed for years, and which the orange menace tried to destroy by stealing all those secret documents. (and which HRC was aware of but couldn't reveal?)

HOW?

by rubbing him out in a way that looks like "the deep state" did it.
