If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.

And that was 8 years ago. Coup 2.0 is well underway.

It wasn't 8 years ago, it broke in 2000 with Gore/Bush, after years of dismantling guardrails (primarily under Reagan). We are just watching the system get progressively more broken.

It didn't start with Trump, and its not going to end with Trump, either. If Trump's presidency is what brought your attention to this issue, I am glad to have you onboard! However, to be able to address the issue proper, you must know when and how the issue began (so you better know the when and how of fixing it).

That requires basic education though.

And that has been constantly dismantled as well.

All according to plan since the ol’ Reaganomics days.
