Gen X Swiftie, strong political opinions & liberal use of F bombs. I'm bipetual (a cat & dog lady). Some say I have problems with authority. Rep TV when?

Dems talking about the lessons they need to learn for ‘28 are revealing to me why Trump as a “threat to democracy” didn’t stick. Because even DEMS don’t believe it.
Nobody believes Trump is a unique threat to democratic self government if they expect to STILL HAVE IT in 4 years.
Why are trump supporters getting so mad that we say that we hope everything that they voted for happens to them? Why is that a threat? YOU VOTED FOR IT WHY ARE YOU MAD? I hope everything that you voted for happens to you PERSONALLY. Why you mad boo?
20/20. Persuading your voters that the other side cheated starts a downward spiral. Your voters will expect you to cheat next time. Take responsibility, Republicans.
19/20. Creating a myth of a "stab in the back" by internal enemies, as Republicans are helping Trump to do, justifies violence against other citizens, as in interwar Germany.
14/20. Peaceful demonstrations after elections are necessary for transitions away from authoritarianism, as in Poland in 1989, Serbia in 1999, or Belarus right now.
10/20. Coups are defeated quickly or not at all. While they take place we are meant to look away, as many of us are doing. When they are complete we are powerless.
9/20. What Donald Trump is attempting to do has a name: coup d'état. Poorly organized though it might seem, it is not bound to fail. It must be made to fail.
