Even worse, I think many of them have accepted the notion that their side


is simply not going to be able to win fair elections where everyone's vote counts and is counted moving forward, and are fine bending the rules, breaking the rules, or even just plain trashing the rules to keep the "right" party in power, even if it means trashing our democracy and turning it over to a dictator. Really all it took to push them over the edge was a fairly moderate black man getting elected and re-elected.

Make no mistake, the poisonous garbage they call "news" is largely to blame for this. I get the sense many Republicans -- particularly older white Evangelicals -- are scared shitless of the notion of being a minority in what the view as "their" country and think being on the losing side of history makes them victims who need to protect themselves by any means necessary (because, if you watch Tucker Carlson or any of the other trash they're glued to, it means a persecution of white Christians and traditionalists is right around the corner, with those evil blood sucking bastards SOROS AND THE LIBBZ leading the charge).

That is right dangerous if you think about it. If Republicans really think they have no choice but to subvert democracy and have everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing so, you know what they are going to do if we don't stop them.
