“Joe Biden (comments about whom this gag does not restrict) is running on democracy. Mike Pence is running on defending the Constitution.
Trump is running on a promise that none of that matters: no election outcome — not that of 2020, not that of 2024 — should be respected, unless he wins.
And the way to ensure that happens, Trump knows, is to guard the right of his mob to amplify and respond to his false claims of victimization.”
