I don't understand why so many Democrats are more worried about the Republicans losing and stealing the election than they are about the much, much greater likelihood that the Republicans win fairly.
If they win fairly, they can be obstructed into the ground at best, done in by their own excesses at worst...all of this by institutional powers and base complacency.
If they lose and steal the election, the paranoia and frenzy only increases.
Tbf, centrist-lib Dems are slowly headed this way too in attitude.
