Democratic warnings about Trump were not simply campaign rhetoric

The issue isn’t that Democrats never believed Trump posed such a risk. The issue is that the party and its presidential candidate lost an election centered on that risk. The process of democracy, responding in large part to global economic patterns, awarded the presidency to a candidate who is overtly and increasingly antagonistic to the American system. A candidate representing a party in which a majority told pollsters four years ago that the governmental separation of powers was not extremely important.

The argument that Democrats were insincere in their concerns about democracy is, particularly when offered by Trump supporters, an effort to diminish the idea that any such risk exists.

It obviously does.

  1. No, the Democrats lost because they called anyone they disagreed with a Nazi. They lost because they told minorities how they should think and refer to themselves. They lost because they told women that someone with a penis is also a woman and if they didn't accept that, they were terrible people. that's why they lost. Because "the American system" has been corrupted by the Woke and they promised more corruption.

    1. It must be very difficult for DT to see all these fine Americans like Marco Rubio, rev Huckabee, who are staunchly Pro Israel.
      Wasn't Harris saying that the "genocide" is true...

    2. Remember, if you're a supporter of Trump and you say you love Jews and Israel, it means you're a alt-right anti-Semite

    5. For Hispanics, it's a moment of pride to have Rubio as secretary of state.
      Contrast this with intermarried blinken, who even once compared Israel to Hamas, and schumer _ who called for undemocratic regime change in Israel - to topple Bibi.

    6. For Jews it's also a moment of pride. Unlike the Democrat court Jews, he's actually pro-Jewish
      (For DT that makes him an anti-Semite, of course)

    7. yes you believe he is pro Jewish and the Arabs think he is pro Arab
      Actually he is only pro Trump but you are naive enough to believe him. "He actually said he is pro Jewish I am so proud"
