Nobody on the right does. When he is gone, those working class voters are going to be frustrated. We need to channel their frustration toward good government.

He’s going to do a sone very specific things: He is going to use the post office to stop or slow down mail delivery in blue counties. Drop boxes must be set up by the states to prevent this. He will attempt to prevent the swearing in of members of congress he think stole their seats.

We barely have what it takes to comprehend this. Our government has functioned unmolested (somewhat) for 249 years. We don’t know what authoritarianism looks like. If those on the right are not feeling it then they will never believe or care it is happening to others.
