Maybe this should be asked of each candidate running for any office in 2022: "Could you please

explain in simple terms just what 'democracy' is and whether you are in favor of continuing our democratic form of government---yes or no?"

Meadows, Bannon and the rest dont care about the laws anymore.

Trump and Kushner never have, of course.

We better wake up, November is when elections wont be certified unless cons win. Bad days ahead, and I cant believe how many people still dont get it.

Who do you want voting?

If their answer is this...."Eligible voters."

Your followup question is..."Eligible voters who happen to be Women, African-Americans, Elderly, Asian, College age, other People of Color, Hispanic, new American citizens?"

If they hesitate, keep up the pressure. The real answer is "God fearing Americans who vote for Republicans ."

They'll lie and rephrase the question in a way that makes it sound as if the Dems are the onjes taking away the government. Don't ask an open-ended question like that, ask why they favor dissolving the Consititution and creating a theocracy of the minority.
