In a recent interview on Bill Maher’s show, the US media personality Megyn Kelly stated that she did not care about accusations that Trump is a threat to democracy. I believe Kelly’s stance is a mistake, from her own—conservative—point of view.

Bill Maher: “[…] the things he’s been saying. And all the people in his administration who said ‘He is a fascist. He wants to be a fascist’. His friends are all dictators.” Megyn Kelly: “I don’t care about that at all. Not at all.”
