13% of Democrats agree with Trump on that.

What the actual fuck?

    The fixation is because there is no clear line of succession. If he fails, who steps in? They’ll splinter and fragment. They’ll still be deplorable, but less effective when not united behind a single authoritarian leader.

      Like how democrats splintered and fragmented when Biden stepped down?

      They’ll reform and continue gaining power in lower-level positions until the next election, like they’ve been doing since 2020

      I cannot emphasize how naieve it is to think this problem will go away if all we do is beat trump, or even if he dies or gets incarcerated.

        Democrats aren’t authoritarians. It’s a bad comparison. Democrats are always fragmented, it’s virtually a defining characteristic. Post-Biden unity has been quite unusual.
