Much has been made about “threats to democracy” topping a list of voters’ concerns for the first time in a recent opinion poll. I am skeptical. I read through the survey looking for party affiliation because I don’t think “threats” mean the same to Democrats and RepubliKKKlans. They did not ask explicitly for party association, but they did ask people who they voted for in 2020, so the survey population consists of slightly more Biden voters. Even then, reading other question responses indicates that many of those “Biden” voters seem to be disaffected Independent (and maybe a hand full of RepubliKKKlan) voters since the opinion poll revealed that they prefer to give RepubliKKKlans control of Congress in 2022.
When people put threats to democracy at the top of their list, I think people assume they are worried about losing America’s democracy. Wrong! MAGA morons and RepubliKKKlans are concerned about losing their idea of democracy, which is just fascism — American style. So, don’t believe everything you read at face value. Welcome to stupid America, where Democrats fear losing our Madisonian democracy, and RepubliKKKlans fear losing their chance to impose democracy with a twist of Christo-fascism on the rest of us. Mark my words!
