Sanders calls out Trump's authoritarianism

Bernie Sanders gave his speech at the Democratic Convention last night.  He said some important things, pointing out the obvious, that Trump is acting like an authoritarian tyrant overthrowing democracy:

“This election is the most important in the modern history of this country. In response to the unprecedented crises we face, we need an unprecedented response …At its most basic, this election is about preserving our democracy. During this president's term, the unthinkable has become normal. He has tried to prevent people from voting, undermined the U.S. Postal Service, deployed the military and federal agents against peaceful protesters, threatened to delay the election and suggested that he will not leave office if he loses. This is not normal, and we must never treat it like it is.
