Surely, surely, a significant portion of conservative voters can see that this isn't what democracy should look like, even if they're ardent republican supporters.
republican allegiance is to the bible, not the constitution. they say a lot of things about the constitution, but in the end, they just want christo-fascism. some of them are true believers in the make believe, others just use to justify their own cruelty.
either way, their motives don't matter. it's all about what we're going to do about it.
Whether or not it's "what democracy should look like" is an opinion often based on whether you're on (or think you're on) the giving or receiving end of the oppression.
I get that, but I suppose I'm trying to say that there's a point at which even if you're not on the receiving end of the oppression you have to recognise that something's not right.
