Flame » in reply to The author of 'How Democracies Die' points to the ascension of Newt Gingrich

So WHY are republicans smashing the norms that protect our democracy?

It is because they are becoming a minority- that is why they are conducting illegal voter purges, and making it harder for minorities to vote, that is why they now embrace the interference of a hostile adversary in our elections and why they are fighting all measures to prevent that interference from happening again.

They fear becoming a minority because they fear they will be treated as they have always treated minorities themselves.

They fail to realize that their oppression of minorities, their violence against the less fortunate are a result of the conservative pathology- not ours.

What awaits them is not violence, or oppression, or an assault on their freedoms.

What awaits them is far worse...

Irrelevance.
