They no longer care about democracy so long as their side wins. That's how much damage the far right has done to our institutions: https://twitter.com/BEichenwald/status/1586788998101491712

I mean, you aren't wrong, but also this is a rando Bolsonaro supporter with 455 followers. There are better, more useful examples for this.

They've pulled so many people behind the veil, they could probably say "We are going to gut all your social security and medicare" on the mic and used as a campaign promise and would still probably win.

Americans are dumb as shit. I don't expect others around the world to be too far away from us at this point, since Trump was in front of the world for a while.

Absolutely, it's only a matter of time now that trump and friends have laid the groundwork for that. I'd suggest anyone on the left buy guns (preferably concealable) and attain the requisite licensing for those guns

It also helps to form connections with other lefts in order to support each other. Solidarity can be a powerful weapon when used effectively.

The Far Right is gaining ground around the world, sadly. Many countries are starting to adopt MAGA type ideas

People really need to learn what conservatism actually is. Of course they're opposed to democracy. Conservatism was born out of skepticism for the burgeoning liberal democracy, and we're talking about a liberal democracy which is appalling by today's standards, and a sympathy and nostalgia for the aristocracy and monarchy. If you care even one whit for democracy, you should be hostile to conservatism in your most generous of moments, and realize that whatever aspect of your political philosophy that prevented you from doing so in the first place was flawed.

I personally believe that all modern Republicans would have supported the British in the Revolutionary War. Despite how they claim to love America. Conservatives always support kings. The rebels were the liberals of the 1700s.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/michigan-gop-encourages-poll-workers-break-rules-leaked-video-1234588705/

Michigan specifically has Voter ID laws, so it would already be really hard to vote twice in person. The whole drop box thing is even more paranoid that they think they're going to catch someone with a big burlap sack of Dem only votes. None of these things happen with enough regularity to suggest some gigantic subterfuge conspiracy. Just ignorant or uniformed Americans doing what they aren't supposed to.

So here's slightly less of an internet rando, in that he runs the NY Young Republicans (but tbh that org is probably not large enough to be worth caring about anyways)
