If your perspective is “The democratic vote doesn’t count unless we win”, then that equates to “I oppose democracy.”

This is where the Overton Window is heading for the Republican Party.

Remember the Chauvin verdict? Trump supporters insist that Chauvin was only convicted because the jury was terrified of “rioters & looters” destroying their city.

This is their same explanation for why more than 60 courts refused to consider Trump’s arguments for election fraud.

Conservative media painted an entirely false narrative of the BLM protests last year, as if it were a nonstop nightmare of rioting & looting. This is now conservatives’ default premise for how our laws are applied, particularly when the results do not go their way.

Now more than ever, the conservative ruse that “We must carry guns to protect us from the government” has been proven to really mean “We must carry guns to protect us from the brown-skinned savages running loose in the streets.”
