What, and I cannot stress this enough, the actual fuck?
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

“All it does is sow hatred,” Trump told the New York Post last month to explain that he planned to skip the Super Bowl due in large part to Bad Bunny’s appearance in the halftime show.
But the push to “sow hatred” could better describe Trump’s campaign of terror to redefine who belongs in the US.

NEW: In its new legal brief, the RNC urged SCOTUS to rule that mail-in ballots arriving post-Election Day should not be counted.
It also framed the counting of such ballots, which has been practiced for decades, as a dangerous modern experiment that undermines public trust and invites wrongdoing.

They want to dictate and impose their version on all by nullifying elections/using fascist violence to force us to accept it. Ironically commentary trying to be "understanding" of Trumpism often won't forthrightly face this
IMHO, Sandel is getting in MAGA fascism a monkey's-paw version of his wish for a more deeply moralized politics in which people's fundamental ideals of the good life are contested. The multiply-supremacist (racial; gender; LGBT; religious) MAGA agenda supposes just such a comprehensive public vision
