    Do these people mean it as democracy per se or just the democratic party? Just trying to understand your country’s stage of fascism.

      No they pearl clutch and love America and the democracy it has. But they have been taught that Democrats/Liberals are horrible, disgusting people. It’s a knee jerk reaction at this point. My brother, who is hardcore maga, said “no I don’t think they are talking about you. You aren’t a ‘liberal’”. Like he was saving me from a terrible slur. And I had to nicely tell him that I am, in fact, liberal.

      It kind of feels like the hatred against “the gays” in the 90s. They need someone to hate and right now it’s the Democrats and liberals, and I guess everyone else the media has told them to hate (lgbtq, trans, etc).

          It’s a 1 party system.
          No matter what side of it, it supports the genocider state, multinationals, bombing brown people and terrorizing the rest of the world.
