A very disappointing pod. It seems like there's an implication that pro-democracy people need to stop warning about the Trump threat, i.e. lie to people, to "turn the temperature" down. MAGAites and Trump turn the temperature up by lying, but their opponents do it by telling the truth. It's really unfortunate the truth is so terrifying and upsetting, to the point it may provoke violence, but I don't agree we should lie to people who want democracy to keep them docile. Docility is a quality we seek in the animals we eat, not our pro-democracy citizens.
