    Exactly. I dislike Trump as much as the next person, but I also absolutely respect the office and think the Secret Service should be doing a much better job of protecting those who hold, held, or are seeking to hold public office. A functional democracy requires protecting those who the people elect, even if we disagree with their policies.

      When Trump wins and plunges our country into an authoritarian hellscape, at least you’ll have the moral high ground.
