slowly chipping away at democracy... in plain site...

14:10 - Panelist Rachel Maddow :

"I want to take myself out of a box here. I never said he’s evil and my reaction is not 'oh, he’s evil.'  My reaction to what happened the other night when he said that to George Stephanopoulos was...

This is horrendous, horrendous for our democracy. He is a national security threat.  And what he does is not stupidity. What he does is not evil playing out before our eyes.  What he does is he manipulates the truth. He desensitizes the american public and the world to what is right and wrong and does things in plain sight and the results are evil. 

What happens in a dictatorship, What happens when evil forces step in is this -- slowly chipping away at our values, slowly chipping away at our democracy and that, whether he knows it or not, whether he’s planning it or not, whether he gives a damn or not, that’s what’s happening."
