Harris argues that, at long last, the 
️end of the Trump era️ is in sight
Instead of treating Trump as an equal force in the system, the
Democrats are now treating him more like a virus.
It is hard to overstate the extent to which this is facilitated by the other way in which Trump’s enduring presence has reshaped American politics:
-- the big, sturdy #echo #chamber in which he and his supporters exist.
The right has been in a #bubble for some time, but Trump strengthened and refocused it.
Allies like Elon Musk helped; Musk turned his social media platform X into a literal economic engine for the fringe right rather than just an engine for attention.
The bubble grew more insular and isolated, making it easier to treat as exceptional instead of as integrated.
Harris was direct in articulating the threat many Americans see in Trump, including his #authoritarian tendencies.
“I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like #Kim #Jong #Un, who are rooting for Trump,” she said at one point, “who are rooting for Trump because they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors.
They know Trump won’t hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an #autocrat himself.”
