My biggest issue with _anybody_ looking solely at or toward _either_ of the extremes: - “He’s a competent and benevolent leader who’s _well on his way_ to Making America Great Again!” vs. - “He’s Godzilla on bath salts and this time he’s going to wipe out the _entire_ globe and _nothing and nobody_ can stop him!” is that it tends to distract from the actual actions, actual Court decisions, actual policies, and the actual shift of both the Overton window and the continuum between Democracy and Autocracy. Don’t miss the forest for the trees, and _definitely_ don’t miss the forest because you think it’s cute that somebody carved “JM + DL” inside the shape of a Valentine’s ‘heart’ in the bark of a single tree. It’s a bit like an NBA basketball game: no matter _how good_ the dominant team is, the other team is gonna’ get some points on the board, too. It’s a fait accompli.
