On the plus side, Walter Shaub said it better than I could.
The RW - yes, that's a broad brush - believes in the deepest and darkest parts of their beings that they are right. That immigrants are evil. That the deep state comprises child-trafficking, adrenal gland harvesting cannibals. They look out the window and see clear skies and report on Twitter that the skies are literally darkening and the world is coming to an end. They see joyful African-Americans celebrating the rare conviction of a police officer and see only former slaves deeply committed to the eradication of white people in America. In their world they are not disenfranchising non-white people but rather securing elections for white people. They don't see the impact on Black people because they don't consider them human. Or American. They don't see asylum seekers as escaping horrors in their own countries but rather as infiltrators into a white America. And on and on.
And if it takes the toppling of democracy to ensure that their world prevails, then so be it. For them it's not a choice. What they believe and the actions they are taking are the right path. They on the right side of history. They are convinced that history, so to speak, will view them as the saviors of America.
When Jim Caviezel can spout his adrenal gland nonsense publicly, something is very, very wrong. When Lin Wood can spout the utter tripe that he spoke, to the cheers of the faithful, something is very, very wrong. When everything they believe is reinforced daily by the utterances from Mar-a-Lago and from Fox and Newsmax and OAN, something is very, very wrong. When QAnon is their guiding light, something is very, very, very wrong. When not more than one or two Republicans call them out, something is very, very wrong.
They are blind to the reality that our foreign adversaries are exploiting their idiocy.
Whether or not the movement, if you can even call it that, has the goal of topping democracy is almost irrelevant. If that's what it takes to achieve their objectives - to rid America of non-White people and to dismantle the so-called deep state - then democracy has to go.
IOW, read Walter Shaub's comments as a very serious warning.
