“Democracy dies in darkness” is The Washington Post’s slogan, but can it handle the light?
The Post has been doggedly portraying the election between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris as a choice between tyranny and democracy . Yet when it commissioned a poll on threats to democracy shortly before the election, it did not quite work out.
Notably, this was the same result when President Joe Biden was the nominee. While over half said that threats to democracy were important to their voters, the voters trusted Trump more than Biden in protecting democracy. Recently, MSNBC host Al Sharpton and regular Donny Deutsch warned viewers that they are likely to be an enemy’s “list” for some type of roundup after a Trump election. in the theme of a final stand before the gulag: “For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he’s planning are only for migrants? So, yes, I’m worried about me — but only as much as I’m worried about all of us.”
All that is required is for over two centuries of constitutional order to fail suddenly, and virtually every constitutional actor in our system suddenly embraces tyranny.
