It's humorous to watch socialist/fascist/oligarchs declare they can preserve democracy by destroying it. Do you not even see the fallacious assumptions you make? And of course, aside from your philosophical musings, what about the reality? The Democrats approach is exactly as you describe. In 2020, the tightly controlled DNC used their power and money and chose a presidential candidate that was obviously the most incompetent of any of those in the Democrat primaries – I mean you had competent choices like Klobacher, Bloomberg, even Yang. But the DNC through intimidation, adherence to party, and the almighty dollar, chose a man who was quite obviously both mentally and ethically compromised. The result: massive inflation, wars across the globe, violence in US cities (including the one you fled), destruction and harm to the middle class (, most socialists don't care), an emboldened and increasingly aggressive China/Iran/Russia/N. Kora, and an immigration crisis of immense proportion that has enriched the cartels by $15B. It’s sad to see the Left devolve into admiring the approaches of Castro, Chavez, Mao, Stalin, et al. But it has certainly happened. Orwell understood socialists, oligarchs, and the Left when Squealer said: "No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?” Maybe you'd agree?
