Donald Trump will be nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for president of the United States. A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.

Challenge: Go to work tomorrow and telll a person of color you work with to “Go back to the country you came form”. Find a coworker with disabilities and mock them for it. Grab a coworker by the pussy. Call a less attractive coworker a “Horseface” and a “Dog”. 

See if you can make it until lunch before being fired. If you’re not willing to do this, you obviously realize this is n’t acceptable behavior for adults. So why would you elect a President who has done every one of these things on camera?

But where some voters see Trump as a messiah-like figure, others see a cult. Where some see inspiration, others sense demagoguery. And the veneration of Trump as a sort-of quasi-religious figure will cause deep fear given that he has made no secret of his authoritarian streak and a desire for retribution against his enemies if he wins a second term. That threat has taken on new relevance in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that expanded presidential immunity.

For Americans who may have forgotten that time, or pushed it from memory, we offer this timeline of his presidency. Mr. Trump’s first term was a warning about what he will do with the power of his office — unless American voters reject him.
