Still a huge difference between legal in moral. In a seat of political power his language is dangerous, period. Holocaust survivors can attest to the dangers of political demagoguery. I've said it before, it isn't that Trump can turn into a despot in office overnight, but his tone, if more politicians take his tactic, can have a very destructive thing to the concept of political pluralism and the idea of peaceful transfer of power.
He must be kept out of office, and I am not just saying that because I hate him, he is literally dangerous to western ideas of secular common law. That is not a political party issue at this point to me. It is a warning to everyone. He may think it is just "shtick" and "telling it like it is", but it isn't. It is literally the language that gives rise to despots.
