At home, Romney said, “what has kept us from falling in with the same kind of authoritarian leader as Vladimir Putin are the strengths of our institutions, the rule of law, our courts, Congress.”

Mitt doing his stand-up routine, I see.

Elitist and clueless the DC RINO mafia don’t know or care about us average folks. They only want power, and how they can bully the average person with VAX mandates and other such foolishness

We get a list of the 200 so they can be defeated in upcoming primaries. Texas is the only state to have voted and they still have a runoff

In a more honorable time, Mitt would be called out for a duel of honor for his slur on Ms. Gabbard, and shot with what used to be referred to as “gentleman’s weapons.” But we do not live in a time when one’s honor is a precious possession, so we’re going to have to handle such people in a less honorable manner.

‘extraordinary challenge’ to preserve American democracy,

hmmm....Isn’t this a Dem talking point? I’m sure I’ve heard Joy Reid, Morning Joe and Rachel Maddow parrot the exact same phrase - repeatedly

ever since Fareed Sakaria over on CNN coined the most recent use of the phrase:
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/09/opinions/fareed-zakaria-the-fight-to-save-american-democracy-op-ed/index.html

so...who is Romney fighting for?

Preserve, like with formaldehyde or taxidermy. If people like Romney are in charge, you’ll be able to see what the republic looked like when it was alive.

The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy.

— Elbridge Gerry

(T)he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy.

— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2

What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. […]

In America, where a democratic constitution has already been established, the communists must make the common cause with the party which will turn this constitution against the bourgeoisie and use it in the interests of the proletariat …

— The Principles of Communism

… (I)t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. …

— Woodrow Wilson, “Socialism and Democracy”
I would say that calling democracy the opposite of autocracy is the big lie, particularly when it is equated with socialism by one of the most prominent figures of history and a left-wing POTUS to boot.

Nice try, Mittens. But history and present experience shows what you and yours have been trying to force on us.

Hey now, baby
Get into my big black car
Hey now, baby
Get into my big black car
I want to just show you
What my politics are

I’m a political man
And I practice what I preach
I’m a political man
And I practice what I preach
So don’t deny me, baby
Not while you’re in my reach

I support the left
Though I’m leaning, leaning to the right
I support the left
Though I’m leaning to the right
But I’m just not there
When it’s coming to a fight

The two minute hate has switched seamlessly from Trump to Putin.
