Cue the people who want to clutch their pearls like, "BuT I DoN't WaNt ThIs DeMoCrAcY tO sUrViVe!" as if they have an alternative option that isn't a Trump-fueled fascist dystopia.
I think there's an alarming number of Americans who are realizing the government is the only thing between them and the violent fantasies they desperately want to enact.

Lotta Libertarian "Centrists" who think they're smart and that they have a choice. They think they will be able to die on the single-issue-hill of Biden's policy stance on Israel and still retain the ability to vote in five years.
