The media propagandist and especially Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt are enemies of the people.

Remember those names. Just like the Nuremberg trials, there will be no escape or leniency for coup plotters.

we knew that Donald Trump was an authoritarian figure, and we held the Republican Party responsible for abdicating its role as democratic gatekeeper.

Translation: the Republicans are OK as long as they are Mitch McConnell subservient, but not when they will fight back like Donald Trump.

This one was just to easy to mock, a perfect thread for Freepers to tear the Atlantic’s argument apart.

Anyone in the media or government saying we live in a democracy needs to be mocked relentlessly. //

Bears repeating.

Pushing the illegals and dead people off the rolls is “stealing” the election by Democrat lights. Everybody on earth has a right to vote in American elections as many times as they can.

Complete dissociation from reality.

Very common for liberals and leftists and these guys are professors where it is obligatory.

“Their projection is utterly stunning.”

They forgot to mention that Republicans also want to defund the police.

weaken or eliminate antiquated institutions such as the filibuster so that majorities can actually govern.

This whole article is spelling out how to become a tyranny. Nothing but disingenuous lies.

I believe the Republicans are in on the Steal.
................................................
Oh Yes, no doubt whatever in my mind that GOP apparatchiks in key positions Federal and State were and are complicit in the Steal.

we are convinced that the Republican Party leadership is willing to overturn an election.
....................................................
Well, since everyone on the planet knows the election process was massively fraudulent in a half dozen or more States, all patriotic Americans are praying that it is overturned!

Is it stealing if you steal back a stolen election?

Stealing Elections is a great book. It was written by John Fund, not "the Democrats." It gives lots of examples of how election fraud has been and is done.

It torches the Democrats' argument that election fraud never happens.

Such people, and I’m using that word in the broadest sense possible, always, always, always, always accuse others of doing precisely the evil that they themselves are guilty of doing...

...or are planning to do.
