Democracy is in danger if the people choose the wrong candidate.
That’s their point of view.
Ross D can be unhinged at times…sad, really. He’s a smart guy, but he’s so immersed in TDS, etc., that he can’t help himself, it seems.
Anybody remember Rossie's follow-up article on the Hunter Biden Conundrum?

Critical thinking and accepting the commonly understood definition of words isn’t a real strong point for the progressive types, is it?
There are two narratives.... reality and the one created by the media. Both are very powerful and important to people.
Trump needs to highlight the record and disprove the narrative but I am not sure he is capable of it. Yes, it’s not fair, but there is no “fair” in war and politics is war.
Imagine Trump’s policies and Reagan’s wit and charm. I admire Trump very much for what he accomplished despite the fact that every institution was against him because he did not represent the uniparty but now that we are a year past the election it is pretty obvious that Trump could have won and done the same things with a little softer image. The suburban mom vote is feckless and contemptible to me, but let’s not pretend it is that hard to kiss babies and hand out lollipops. Hell, Oprah has fooled them for three decades by playing the game.
What if? Look at the polling numbers yourself. It was so close that even a 10% shift among these voters and we are not having this conversation today. I admire him greatly, but a key part of leadership and success is doing well (or faking it for politicians) at the things you don’t enjoy so you can get the best result for the organization and win.
National elections (that are fairly run) are decided by those with splinters in their ass. Trump is a master of the Art of Business but he often seems incapable of mastering the Art of Politics. Perhaps the latter is what makes him so good at the first? I don’t know, but he is so authentic he can’t bring himself to fake it so it is not hard for the enemedia to carve off the Oprah voters by spinning the narrative.
I remember the heated discussions here on FR during the second phase of the Wuflu over pollsters and political pundits lamenting that Trump did not appear sympathetic or caring about the impact of the virus. Sure, it was as much bullchit as Bill Clinton’s quivering lip but he won didn’t he?
Democracy is endangered right now because one party defrauded the nation with a criminal election.
