Where’s the line, Jon? What will it take? This is the question that EVERYONE who does media needs to be asking themselves.

Here’s the problem…Donald has already crossed it. Repeatedly. The Rubicon is muddy with constant traverses. So why won’t folks like Jon admit it?

Because it’s a big ask. Too big for most. They won’t ever admit it. Only in hindsight. To admit Donald is a fascist *now* would be to admit that they missed it for 10 years, poo-poo’d every critic, and were horribly wrong about the largest threat to democracy of their lifetimes.

Later….people will just be glad they survived, if they did, and they’ll claim (like all) to have been against his fascism the whole time.
