Selbsterklärend, dass Uschi im WarRoom sitzt, sobald irgendwo freie Wahlen stattfinden.

Ganz anders als dieser Partisan der #Freiheit hier, dem nichts wichtiger ist, als die freie Wahl freier Bürger*innen in freien Ländern:

Ja, LOL. Das denkst Du.

Tatsächlich geht's jetzt erst richtig los:

Liberals’ Heated Fascism Rhetoric Sidesteps Self-Reflection

In response to the threat of a second Donald Trump presidency, Democrats are dusting off apocalyptic rhetoric of looming fascism and total democratic collapse. It's a self-soothing deflection of responsibility more than anything else.

Zitat von Jacobin - 18.04.24

[...] Indeed, it’s unclear the degree to which this country is a democracy at all. Many leftists are well aware of how undemocratic prominent US organizations and institutions are, from the Senate to the Supreme Court to the Electoral College. And most probably know that money shapes our political system, often to the benefit of the wealthy. But our democratic deficit is even larger than that. Over the course of the twentieth century, the United States’ ruling class built an incredibly complex ecosystem of governmental and nongovernmental groups that effectively ensured ordinary Americans had very little say concerning several issue areas, including foreign policy and the macroeconomy. In fact, a 2014 study by the political scientists Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page found “that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.”

It’s possible that frustration with this undemocratic state of affairs is a contributing factor to the rejection of the Democratic Party by a growing number of black, Latino, and Asian voters on whose loyalty the party has long relied. If the Democrats won’t help you, why not embrace the Joker-esque, fuck-‘em-all attitude of modern Republicanism?

All in all, the framework of fragile democracy versus looming authoritarianism has not done much to arrest, let alone reverse, our democratic decline. Yet apocalyptic rhetoric continues to permeate American political discourse. In addition to worrying about the end of American “democracy,” the question of whether Trump is a “fascist”— or “semifascist” or “protofascist” or “fascoid,” or whatever variation of fascism a particular analyst prefers — has preoccupied liberal elites since 2015.

From Biden to the historian Timothy Snyder to the talking head Rachel Maddow, liberals have repeatedly affirmed that the American body politic contains a fascist contaminant that needs to be identified and expelled. Much like the New Atheists before them, who after 9/11 scared the hell out of Americans with apocalyptic rhetoric warning about the spread of Islamist fanaticism, the output of the liberal “anti-fascists” occludes efforts at understanding and addressing actual sources of violent hatred. How does diagnosing “fascism,” which implicitly categorizes millions of Americans as a group to be expunged rather than won over, help us reform our undemocratic political system and attenuate economic inequality, racism, and gender and sexual discrimination? Simply put, it doesn’t. [...]
