Vance’s elevation to vice-presidential candidate should be prompting far greater alarm among the institutions and “responsible people” that anchor the American establishment.
I think that democracy may be okay. Hear me out. Everywhere I turn I keep hearing that democracy has failed for a variety of reasons that I won’t rehash here.
What if the “democracy has failed” assertion is meant to dishearten people who would otherwise fight for it? Like, if democracy has already failed then there is no point to fighting the fascists. But, if the fascists have a road map to destroy democracy that relies on little to no resistance from the masses, then convincing people that democracy has failed is a pretty sharp move from a political strategy point of view.
These animals have no morals and will use any trick they can think of. But I think you’re right, people will fight on and part of that is stopping people from becoming disheartened.
I don’t think true democracy has ever been achieved, where all people have a say in how society operates. So it is, fundamentally, a never ending story.
This country’s democracy has been optimized to benefit a privileged few, the failure has been going on for longer than I’ve been around. We fight fascists for our lives, don’t let some nebulous country rock nonsense about democracy obscure that. It’s not the government that’s worth saving, it’s the people

Democracy only fails if we stop fighting for it.
