This is fantastic. Money-quote:

To vote for Trump is to validate; to vote for Trump is to participate. He is a crass

, gutter-tongued, vulgar man whose self-regard blinds his ability to understand his own ignorance.

It takes a certain kind of historical illiterate not to realize his facial postures are literally aping a second-rate Italian fascist.

Sorry for taking the long way; could have just linked and agreed. But the author’s points deserve interrogation. Short version: no. Long version: hell no. On the off chance history makes marks in a ledger: I will not support Trump if he is the nominee. I will not vote for him. The devil you know is still a devil, and worse yet: you don’t really know him at all.
