TRUE OR FALSE: Preserving democracy is the ONLY legitimate reason to be a single-issue voter.
@n8evans In a staggeringly strange twist, the ones who are the most afraid of democracy, and who are doing the most to undermine/destroy it, are ushering in the totalitarianism they've convinced themselves they're experiencing in democracy.
@sumpnlikefaith Apparently they don't know what true totalitarianism/ fascism/ authoritarianism is?
@n8evans No, they really haven't. Like I said in a previous bit on here, they're driven by confirmation bias.
A politician who confirms their bias is deemed worthy of their power (vote). (Populism is the exploit by which democracy is hacked.)
Democracy functions on values, but this populism isn't about shared values. It's about supremacism. Many have never had to think about how hollow or dangerous supremacism (or populism) is. They've just convinced themselves that they've been its victim.
