1. Its called using democratic values to

destroy democracy.
This phenomenon has been used elsewhere with great effect.
Unfortunately the left has a way of unquestioningly supporting calls for change based on their perceived democratic value, issued by people who have no intention what-so-ever to seeing this through, and once the changes have taken place - abandon democracy and the left falls silent.
Some good examples are:
- Gaza - calls for democratic elections - held once and never again
- Zimbabwe - created western pressure for democratic elections and once held - a dictatorship emerges that oppresses its people beyond what was once in place and all in the face of a now silent western liberals who once ranted for democracy
2. Intellectualism is an anathema to democracy & sanity.

3. Leadership and Divisiveness
Daniel Tobias ,   Brooklyn   (10.06.16)
As stated in the article, Trump's statements are not just bigoted, they're false. But so are most of his statements. He rarely speaks the truth. What makes Trump's bigoted statements stand out is that they are divisive. The president needs to be able to unite support and common cause. A divisive leader is an ineffective leader. Additionally, the president should set a positive example. Let others roll around in the mud. That doesn't mean we can't discuss bigoted ideas. It just needs to be handled carefully by the president in public.
