Ferguson avers that Trump's humor makes him less dangerous to democracy, claiming that unlike historical dictators, Trump engages in light-hearted banter and electoral stunts, 'does Trump look or sound like Hitler? ... The Führer didn't do stand-up. Nor did Mussolini serve fast food.' This analogy is puzzling, as humor does not equate to democratic safety, raising concerns about the seriousness of this argument.
Ferguson suggests that democracy would be better protected under Trump's leadership than Kamala Harris's, asserting that the right's justification for Trump's authoritarianism reflects a decline in conservative commitment to democratic norms. His rationale seems oddly dismissive of potential threats posed by populistic tendencies.
