    It is this. They know they don’t have ideas and policies that people want, so they can’t win fair elections. So they don’t want democracy anymore. They want to rule us and force their views on us.

    Stop voting for Republicans, they don’t believe in our democracy.

      It’s kinda worse than that though. They feel it’s their moral imperative to force their ideologies on us. That they are fighting some holy war against evil. They have to win by any means necessary. The most ardent believers think that the country is already evil and can only be washed clean with the blood of…. I guess anyone who doesn’t share their views. Right wing extremism is all over the world, not just the states. And it’s damned scary times right now.

        So kinda like Sharia law but based on bullshit Republican ideas instead of a religion. Also Republicans would lose their everliving minds if it was suggested they live under Sharia law.

          Well most of them base their ideas on their particularly twisted version of Christianity, so pretty much exactly like Sharia law. Some of them don’t even hide it and straight up admit they want Christian flavored Sharia law. Republican voters seem to be a pretty even mix of militant authoritarian Christians and those that don’t actually care about religion but find the ones that do to be useful puppets so they play along. Nearly all the politicians just talk about Christianity because it plays well with their supporters, although there’s a few that are legitimate believers and those are the truly frightening ones.

          Y’allqueda is a drive to be reconned with. Original klandma is out there calling for civil war two electric boogaloo. At this point I just wish they’d been more successful in organizing a large scale insurrection on Jan 6 so we could have a nice pile of bodies.
