You’re absolutely right, John! There’s no excuse for journalists treating this as a normal election between two normal candidates with differing policy recommendations!
This is a contest between a normal, bright, decent, experienced, and caring human being and a loathsome, deranged, lawless, truthless, hateful sociopath who explicitly seeks to destroy democracy and establish himself as king for life. A man who worships raw power, craves violence, seeks revenge against all who dare to criticize him, has no real policy at all other than claiming that he alone can fix everything.
