The Republican politicians are disgusting in their insistent indecency and willingness to talk up violence, even while sometimes (a la McConnell and Youngkin) supposedly denouncing it. Our democracy cannot withstand this. And yet so many good, pro-democracy candidates and politicians, most but not quite all Democrats, are running into major Republican opposition. This demonstrates that a HUGE number of Americans favor the violent and demonizing rhetoric of the right, or at least accept it as their view of what is best. Can anyone who's not a Democrat dogmatist seriously explain this? It's not as though these Republican politicians are being rejected -- they're often winning! What the heck?!
