Who Is the Greater 'Threat to Democracy'?

If the imploding Biden campaign, such as it is, has a main theme right now, that theme would appear to be that Donald Trump is a “threat to our democracy.”  Or maybe it’s that Trump is “the greatest threat to our democracy.”  Joe seems to repeat that line every time he comes out of the basement to speak.  Here’s a short Instagram video issued by the Biden campaign about a week ago with the text “Democracy is on the ballot,” and “Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy.”

But then, Trump served a full four year term as President.  He has a record of four years in the office from which we can compile evidence of actions that he took while holding the powers of the presidency that might be viewed as threats to democracy.  Biden also has a record as President, now approaching the same length, so we can do the same thing for him.

So which of the two is the greater threat to democracy?

Three guesses, and the first two don't count. There's room for real criticism of Trump in the post-election period, but Biden and his administration have done far worse, as Menton elaborates.
