You're rationalizing your decision for supporting authoritarianism in the guise of supporting "basic rights" like "law and order" that is a typical strongman excuse for dismantling democracy. Again, have a look at what has happened in Hungary and Poland.
This shtick that Republicans are the side of authoritarianism is getting old. Other then harping about race its the only sticking point dems have here in the US.
If your policies aren't better and you can't do a better job running things and as others said can't stop social experimenting on a national level to disastrous effects I'll vote for the party that will
Dems need to get it through there heads that using Trump or white supremacy or the Republicans are authoritarian is not impacting the everyday voter anymore its the day to day issues one of them being law and order.
I think Trump wouldn't win in 2024 he's too polarizing but what Dems don't seem too realize is he doesn't have too. Republicans don't have to win in 2024. They just have to win in 2022. Control Congress and have a majority in the Supreme Court and regain ground on the local level an opposing president is a paper head
This is what I meant by they dropped the ball this first year they just went nuts with policies rashly implemented with little study or thought or research on how they were going to work and it's biting them in the a$$ as people are noting in this thread they are not working very well
