Donald J. Trump is “not bluffing” David A. Graham writes in the latest issue of The Atlantic, available to subscribers online now. The magazine has devoted its January 2024 issue on Trump’s plans for a dictatorship, how it would “unwind generations of progress,” and bring on a “more repressive and dangerous America” if he wins a second presidential term next November. 

Editor-in-chief Jeffery Goldberg told Morning Edition’s Steve Inskeep Friday the issue is devoted to warning American voters of what Trump plans to do if he returns to the White House. But Goldberg concedes the special issue is not likely to reach voters it needs to convince most.

What do you think? Are warnings of Trump’s undemocratic potential second administration overstated? No matter where you are on the political horseshoe, we would like your opinion.
