The rationale, which I am a bit worried about, is that the unspoken norms of how American politics has always operated are getting decimated. If some sort of positive reinforcement loop gets established... But more conscious awareness of these norms and how important they are is only better. Read up on Masha Gesson [1]. I think it is more apparent exactly how aberrant the GOP has become and that is a good thing. But a clear and present danger, like he's going to hand America over to Putin next year? No, there is enough pushback going on that I am not very worried. As long as eventually, someone publicly goes to jail... But now I am reminded of the Bush years when a survey of 18 year olds found most of them thought the First Amendment should be limited in some overly strict way... it was something like that - it was nothing like the understanding of things when I was 18, so yes, society's morals or what constitutes "common understanding" can shift in response to current events. Trump needs to be seen as a serious aberration, not just a speed bump, and this needs to be communicated to the under-18 crowd.
