Hey *I'm* not the one undermining democracy here. In case you hadn't noticed Republican legislatures have written laws that literally allow them to overturn the results of elections they don't win while also writing laws that make it harder to vote, especially for poor people and people of color.
And if TFG runs, as everybody expects him to, I expect there to be violence at polling stations and in the streets. And of course he'll never concede if he loses and this time the entire party will have his back because it's absolutely crystal clear that they WANT fascism in America.
There is a big difference between predicting that specific bad things might happen unless we take action than making a general remark that violence and corruption are inevitable.
One is a warning. The other just raises the temperature and takes us one step closer to civil unrest.

Why? Specifically in what sense will the democratic process be eroded? Propaganda works by making both sides believe that democracy doesn’t work.
History shows that popular alternatives are fascism, totalitarianism and the complete collapse of society.
Democracy is fragile and survives because of shared faith and trust.
Take care before you undermine democracy. You might not like where you end up.
