Sometimes it's difficult to fully grasp the notion that the Republican Party has nominated a real live authoritarian as its 2016 presidential candidate. The American political system is held together by shared adherence to a set of political norms, and Donald Trump has found unanticipated electoral success by promising to trample over many of them. He's going to ban members of entire religion from entering the United States, he's going to coerce one of our neighbors and primary trading partners to funding an unrealistic infrastructure project, and he's going to do all of this through sheer will and determination on his part. The Trump vision of government is "Trump's will be done."
