According to at least one poll, reported at Hullabaloo, more Republicans than Democrats think that democracy is in trouble and that the next elections will be stolen. It is not clear whether the Republicans are elated at the possibility or whether they are projecting, but digby rightly asks why Democrats are so sanguine.
I think the answer is obvious. When there’s a fire, someone has to ring an alarm, and it has to be someone you trust. At the moment, only Republicans are accusing Democrats of election theft. Democrats are rightly tuning them out. Top Democrats are, of course, not ringing the alarm. It is clear as day that Republicans are in fact planning to steal the next presidential election, and probably the next congressional election, and I’m not just talking about gerrymandering. Democratic office holders should be ringing the alarm. If they did, more Democrats would accept the reality.
