    Lets not say “destroy democracy” and instead say “dismantling the government and systems in place to protect citizens and the basic rights of human beings in favor of a theocratic fascist regime.”

      You can say it, but you’d be hysterically wrong, like any other time Democrats or Republicans have whipped themselves into hysteria to protect themselves from reality.

        Change is hard, but denialism won’t make it easier for you. We’re in a state of fascism and decline regardless of how much you want everything to be the same.

          We were closer to fascism in 2021-2024. I don’t see Republicans scouring every minute detail of Democrat politicians lives looking for a way to imprison them over spurious at best charges, or drag them before a party loyalist judge on a forced bench show trial.

          Denialism won’t make it any less true. Our only saving grace was that the Democrats overplayed their hands so wildly that all but the most damp chinned of cultist drones didn’t realize it. This is why Trump won in a landslide.
