I suspect that the Supreme Court's actions in Virginia are salami tactics and I worry that they will work: the current administration will not respond to a coup attempt with sufficient vigour.

I'm concerned that if Our Gracious Host meant our national sundowning rather than Mr Trump's, he were right.

He is _not_ just a symptom, he has encouraged and made more virulent the disease, but in the end he is only dangerous because enough of us vote for him—true, not a majority, and something more like democracy in choosing Presidents would likely have stopped him…but if we stayed as we are maybe someone as malign and persuasive but a little less prone to stereotypically rich-kid lack of self-restraint would get a majority of us.

So how must we change?
