Denial about Donald Trump has reached a new low
Joe Biden’s age receives far more coverage than Trump’s declarations
that if he returns to the White House he will detain and deport millions of
people and allow Vladimir Putin’s Russia to “do whatever the hell they want.”
Dwelling in denial is the default mode for millions who have taken
our freedoms for granted and don’t want to think about how their lives
would be altered by the advent of authoritarian governance in America.
Authoritarians have often told us what they are going to do,
but people have rarely believed them, or they have felt that since they didn’t
fit the profile of those the autocrat was targeting, they wouldn’t be affected.
Even when democracy dies by coup, and the repression is heavy and immediate,
some underestimate the impact and view the situation as merely temporary.
