2016 wasn’t legitimate. I mean I guess it depends on what you mean by legitimate, but if your standard is, but it has been a while since we have had anythjng that resembles legitimate. We may never have had one, actually.

This guy’s only figuring this out now? Who is this very learned historian who’s only realizing in 2020 that Trump is very bad?
JFC, I get that they’re trying to win over moderates, but can we get someone who isn’t four years behind the curve?

Good for him but this doesn’t matter at all. Every election is framed as “if my team loses then America as we know it is gone forever”. This is boy who cried wolf stuff.

This is not fair at all. He is not some new convert to the dangers of trump. Here is a quote from his 2018 book.
Extremism, racism, nativism, and isolationism, driven by fear of the unknown, tend to spike in periods of economic and social stress—a period like our own. Americans today have little trust in government; household incomes lag behind our usual middle-class expectations. The fires of fear in America have long found oxygen when broad, seemingly threatening change is afoot. Now, in the second decade of the new century, in the presidency of Donald Trump, the alienated are being mobilized afresh by changing demography, by broadening conceptions of identity, and by an economy that prizes Information Age brains over manufacturing brawn. “We are determined to take our country back,” David Duke, a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, said in Charlottesville. “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in, that’s why we voted for Donald Trump. Because he said he’s going to take our country back. And that’s what we gotta do.

Well, I have to wonder why he kept his powder dry in 2016. Probably some dumb West Wing thinking going on.
He is a historian, not a pundit.

Haters?
Ok haters
This is exactly the type of ads that failed miserably for HRC. Rephrased slightly it could be a pro trump ad.
