Actor Jeff Daniels predicted the end of democracy if President Donald Trump wins re-election in the 2020 election in an interview on MSNBC s Deadline: White House that is now going viral.

Daniels is currently starring as Atticus Finch in the Broadway production of Harper Lees novel To Kill A Mockingbird . He recited the following line from the Aaron Sorkin-written play as he tore into Trump, supporters of the president and the GOP:

A mob is a place where people go to take a break from their conscience.

Thats what I see when I look at Donald Trumps rallies, Daniels noted. Thats when I see the lies spewing at these people and people going, I gotta believe in something, and he said hed bring my manufacturing job back and she didnt, and Im all in. But at the end of the day, aside from Yeah, I dont wanna pay taxes, its race. Its race.

He continued:

This is about the Republican Party , or a wing of it, going This is our last chance to save the party. And if we dont, its the end of the Republican Party. And the only way they can do that was to tap the race button and say, Go ahead, its OK. And he (Trump) did. And they did. That was the only card they had left to play, and they played it. And they arent going to go quietly.
