I keep seeing headlines that say Republicans have to choose between Trumpism or democracy. How silly. Republicans don’t believe in democracy. If they did, they would tailor their positions to appeal to a majority. They never have. They instead have, for 40 years, focused their efforts on disqualifying enough voters so they have a majority of what remains, which is exactly what Trump did in his Georgia phone call.
They have seldom if ever believed in democracy. They made their choice two generations ago. So for Republicans, this is a no-brainer, which is fortunate, because Republicans lack the brains to make any other kind of decision.
