Censorship and Democrats' paranoia

 Washington Examiner:

Is there an army of 30 million people preparing for revolution if Republicans don’t win the 2024 election?

Incredibly, the leading lights of our liberal media want you to think so. Asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd if it was “hyperbolic” to say that the Republican Party is plotting a coup for 2024, NBC News analyst John Heilemann said, “That’s not hyperbolic at all.”

“Research shows that something like 8%, and maybe as many as 12%, of the American people now say that Joe Biden was illegitimate and that violence is an appropriate tool to remove him and restore Donald Trump,” Heilemann continued. “That’s somewhere between 20 million and 30 million people. That’s a mass movement in America in favor of political violence.”

New York Times columnist David Leonhardt is similarly alarmed. He warns that we are “in the midst of a radical shift away from the democratic rules and traditions that have guided the country for a very long time.”

Speaking of a “radical shift away from democratic norms,” the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank argues that since “the country is in an existential struggle between self-governance and an authoritarian regime,” journalists should stop being objective and become “partisans” for the Democratic Party.

Don’t think for a second that any of these warnings are limited to former President Donald Trump. Harvard government professor Theda Skocpol tells The New York Times that while “Trump plays a crucial threatening role … things have now moved to the point that many Republican Party officials and elected officeholders are self-starters. If Trump disappears or steps back, other Trumpists will step up. Many are already in power.”

So it doesn’t actually matter if Trump runs again in 2024 or not. The liberal press have decided that the entire Republican Party is so evil that any vote for any Republican is a vote to end democracy in America.

What delusional nonsense.

...

Democrats and their media cohorts have unnecessarily created a lot of distrust of the 2020 election results by changing the rules to make it easier for Democrats to cheat and also by trying to suppress any investigation of alleged cheating.  This censorship of questioning leads to distrust of what looks like a rigged system.  There is deep distrust of how Democrats want to manage elections and telling people to shut-up only increases the distrust.
