A reminder of what some former colleagues and I found disturbing about @realDonaldTrump’s behavior this summer.

This behavior will not only continue if he is re-elected, but it will get much, much worse. Look at Hong Kong (they just arrested pro-democracy legislators) (1/3) https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1268159053873758210
Look at Malaysia. Look at China (always an autocracy, but has allowed a dictator to create a personality cult that has led to a totalitarian state complete with concentration camps). Trump has been corrupted by power; he seeks even more of it (2/3)
...and reelection will legitimize his authoritarian push.

Value freedom? Value democracy? Value a free press and the right to believe in whatever faith tradition you choose, or none at all? Four more years of Trump puts all these things and more at risk. (3/3)
