When Biden was still in the race his key message was basically “Trump is a threat to democracy”. The pundits kept saying that the need to preserve democracy wasn’t a compelling enough reason for most people to vote for Biden because the concept of “democracy” was too abstract. 🙄

So now it’s come to this. Trump was a fascist & a treat to democracy then, and he remains so today. The only difference now is that we have a bit more proof.
