Watching the 2024 election unfold, it is natural to conclude that Republicans don't care about democracy. This would be a mistake.
As observed by @jrsy@diasp.org, They do give a damn. They despise it.
Democracy in Chains
A Wikipedia article about the 2017 nonfiction book by Nancy Maclean.
FTA: MacLean argues that Buchanan believed democracy must be suppressed for capitalism to flourish, which explains why the right wing, funded behind the scenes by secretive dark money networks, engages in anti-democratic behavior and policy-making, such as opposing unions and Social Security, supporting voter suppression and privatization, and placing impenetrable barriers to popular and social democracy. The book was a finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction. Reviewers received it mostly along partisan political lines.
Have you ever wondered why so many Republicans talk like fascists?
It's cause they are fascists. This is not metaphor. It is not hyperbole. The Republican Party is the American Fascist party.
Their fascist leanings became clear in the 2016 presidential election, and they are become fully formed and glaringly obvious in the 2024 election.
