Similar train of thought, the other day I was posing a question to someone who can be pretty lib, like, if the republicans are such a terrible fascist threat, why aren't the powers in charge doing more to suppress them? Instead of just letting them do what they want electorally and being like "we'll vote them out." I think I actually got through to them a bit on that specific point. Like existential threat to "democracy", supposedly, but we're gonna let em do a popularity contest and get power that "takes away democracy", what sense does that make.
