The panic and extremism that's exploded on the American right flows directly from them finally realizing that they are a small and overrepresented minority that most people loathe.
Their time is ending and they know it. This country is going to have the pluralistic social democracy that is our birthright ✊
@mattsheffield Did you notice Santorum said "pure democracy is not the way to run a country". Let republicans speak long enough and their fascism leaks out.
@wiseguyeddie the alternative to pure democracy isn't fascism, though, and the Democratic party sure isn't in favor of pure democracy either.
Heck, Republicans have been opposing Biden's efforts to skirt democratic processes through executive action, going on the record to support more democratic ways of running the country.
Realistically, it's not all or nothing, democracy or fascism. For a country the size of the US there is a ton of middle ground to set up institutions that include expertise and civil servants to manage day to day operations.
