4. And if the Republicans
Mon Jul 29, 2024, 02:02 PM

were able to get rid of elections, or at least corrupt elections to the point that they were meaningless, if they were confronted about it they would say that it was because of Democratic election rigging that they had get rid of elections.

Just like if the Republicans manage to privatize Social Security they will say that it was Democratic policies that bankrupted Social Security.

Just like a rapist blames the way a woman looked, or a bully blames his victims for giving him a reason to beat them up.

When the powerful blame the weak authoritarians usually believe the powerful because they identify with the power.
