Most of the criticisms of Trump address his undermining of the press and the "institutions." This is a mixed bag that needs to be broken down a bit.

It amazes me that you can write these two sentences given the lies Trump spreads about illegal voting, his suggestion that we should have a lifetime Presidency, the DOJ's lack of interest in chasing jurisdictions who violate people's voting rights, the move of the entire Republican Party (aided by the stolen Supreme Court seat) to approve ridiculous voting suppression laws, plus the Supreme Court's effective removal of the preclearance requirement of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act because racism is over.
The boot is already coming down on democracy. You're only concerned if we get to the point where Trump actually refuses to leave office?
I mean, what the fuck?
