    His base is likely in favor of ending democracy to have a dictatorship of billionaires, but a chunk of people who haven’t been paying attention much may care

        A big chunk of the population doesn’t realize that Biden and Trump are shoo-ins for their parties nominations, and reminding those people that Trump has doubled down on ending democracy is important.

          I don’t see this being the ‘turning point’ for anyone if they haven’t already turned on trump. This is basically jaywalking by his standards.
