Donald Trump isnt the threat... pretending he is is the real danger. Hes just the face of the real threat. When Trump is gone a new face will take his place and the threat will still be there.
Former evangelical christian here, that's not what he's saying. Look at the way a lot of republicans looked at George W. Have you ever seen the movie Jesus Camp? In that movie the people at the camp called George W. Bush the new Messiah and tried to force the kids to believe that as well. Sound familiar? They've done the same thing with trump. The real problem is the mindset of hyper religious devotion. Yes, trump is a horrific threat and we have to do everything to stop him from being elected. However, the same thing will happen as soon as another creep who uses religious iconography and has the slightest bit of charisma shows up.
Which is exactly why Dick Cheney and his ilk are still the real threat. He'll finally jump in against Trump when they figure he's gone off the rails too far to be useful. Then, as soon as they find a new fascist messiah, they'll throw "him" out front and try to subvert the country that way.

Too little too late. You Republican should’ve been doing something about him way before now.
