Remarkably it is another two-sided argument. Trump is running on "strength" of the kind that tortures and kills people (and their families) if we label them terrorists. Total access to all communications is also a "strong" move toward a new "law & order" government. There are tens of millions of Americans who want the government to have this power. They actually, really want it. They admire Kim Jong Un and Putin's "strength". This is, of course, an utter failure of American democracy, based on the catastrophic failure of countless American minds left rudderless by institutions (religion and education, arguably justice and science), and unbalanced by effective terrorists and their ultimate weapon, a charismatic fear-mongering demagogue. Yes, I hope the media fights like hell and whips out their precious humanities degrees to help educate the rudderless about the values they have forgotten.
