If a pollster asks a Republican how important democracy is as an issue to them, I'm not sure how that turns out [View all]

Since Republicans are always projecting, they often cast Democrats as the supposed threat to democracy.

So you could get a Trump voter saying democracy is their top issue.

But how many Republicans would say that relative to Democrats? Some Republicans are openly disdainful of democracy. The ones deluded enough to think Trump is some great hope for freedom might still care more about "illegals" or who uses what bathroom.

I'm guessing that most poll respondents who rank democracy as an important issue are Democrats voting for Harris, or even Liz Cheney-like Republicans voting for Harris. But I'm not sure how it all balances out.
