    Why don’t the democrats ban the GOP and imprison anyone who continues supporting it if they’re such a threat and only democrats can save us?

      Because that’s not how a democracy should function? GOP is a threat though — but please continue to yell at me with no other supporting evidence of a different solution you may have. Theme of this thread is Democrats aren’t our saving grace — which I’m not sure when I ever indicated they were.

        It's undemocratic to arrest peoples who want to undermine democracy? That's naïve and idealistic at best, a functioning democracy should protect itself from movements that threaten it.

          Sure, but the same logic is being applied to the far right — they want to imprison and execute anyone who disagrees with them for treason.

          If we are talking about saving democracy, we should consider always creating policies that ensure there isn’t even a possibility of fascist ideologies taking over the government. To see that there is that possibility just shows we have a massive overhaul to do.
