...Is this an element behind the "we're a republic, not a democracy" bullshit?
I mean, I know it's nonsense, and I know it's fascists testing the waters for being openly anti-democracy, but is it also just playing into the names of the two major parties? It's so silly I genuinely never considered it before, but it's depressingly plausible.
Yes, that’s a huge part of it. “Democratic” has been poisoned as word for many Republicans to the point where they can’t even discuss topics like democracy without experiencing reflexive disgust. So much of their decision making is centered around fighting things that make them feel scared or icky, it makes a twisted kind of sense.
