   Given we constantly hear from Democrats that Trump lies in everything   
   and cannot thus be believed, I don't understand the "end of democracy"   
   crap making the rounds from liberal-progressives.  Why do you believe   
   Trump is going to end democracy?  Because he says he'd like to run for a   
   third term?  You believer that will happen?   
      
   Why do you believe Trump is going to make Canada the 51st state, or   
   annex Greenland or change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of   
   America?   
      
   If he lies about everything, why get bent out of shape about such   
   statements that one knows are not going to happen (at least during this   
   Trump administration).  Why lose sleep over the "end of democracy"?   
      
   The end of American democracy will probably come at some point, but more   
   likely from demagogues on the Left rather than authoritarians on the Right.
