43. SCARY red, but steady, strong BLUE line committed to democracy!

The 2020 graph that's coming should show accelerating Republican free fall into authoritarianism, as Democrats continued to hold democracy's line.

(Since Sanders ran as a Democrat, his anti-democracy behaviors may have been included in the factors analyzed for Dems in 2016. But they failed completely among Democratic superdelegates, while half of his eagerly supportive base subsequently voted RW to elect Trump/GOP and the other half also refused to vote Democratic, so I wonder how they categorized this overlap between LW and RW authoritarian populism.)
