Jonathan Franzen widerspricht (zum Teil)

Zu meinem Blogbeitrag von 24. September, "Warum Trump nicht abgewählt werden kann", habe ich von jemandem, der es wissen muss/kann, weil er viel näher dran und sicher betroffener ist als ich, Widerspruch erhalten. Ich hoffe, er hat recht.


"I disagree with Simon's analysis only in a few ways. First, although Trump is our first anti-democratic populist president, the Republican Party has been engaged in suppressing and delegitimizing the vote for many years now; Trump is using methods that were already in place. Second, I think Simon may underestimate the Supreme Court's allegiance to the Constitution. I have hopes that the chief justice (John Roberts), one of the conservative judges (Neil Gorsuch), and the three liberal judges will preserve the republic in the event of an emergency."
