“And I really wish Trump haters would move away from characterizing his criticisms of the 2020 election as “lies” and attempting to intimidate anyone who wants better election security — calling them a threat to “the legitimacy of American democracy.” Put your efforts into improving the accuracy of our elections, not denouncing the people who are telling you that they’re worried about the legitimacy of American democracy.”
That was blogger/lawyer/retired law professor Ann Althouse this morning on her esoteric blog.
Ethics Alarms has made this same point in various ways for many months. Of course, Ann is right.
Ethics Alarms 
Hate’s all they’ve got. Unreasonable, unhinged hate. That they spent years questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election means nothing. Anyone who supported Trump is a Nazi and Nazis should never have their voices heard.
This from the same crowd that told us that a riot is the voice of the unheard.
Yes. This is just one of the many Trump Deranged mantras. “Democracy is at risk” is my personal favorite. Which translates as “People other than Democrats and progressives may acutally have some say in how the country is run. Yikes!”
That is essentially it. I have no problem believing there are Democrats out there genuinely concerned about the direction of democracy; however, the mantra is just empty words by party leaders and their enablers who only want democracy in their image. They project their own designs onto their opponents and have been doing that for years.
These are the same people who defended Operation: Crossfire Hurricane.

Good thing The Skiff isn’t a danger to democracy. Then we’d really have a problem on our hands.
The left spent 4 years crying about a stolen election. Resist. Not my president. Blah blah blah.
Their outrage is one entirely of convenience.
“Vote your conscience, electors!” “The Electoral College is anti-democratic and has got to go.” “We won the popular vote!”
The guy with his dick in Trump’s mouth will get the okay to do something crazy like invade Ukraine or something really dangerous!”
You could even go back to 2000 with George Bush, though, back then, it was more celebrities that touted the not my president line than members of Congress.
No doubt about it!
Recent ‘”reports” are that DOJ has opened a criminal investigation against Trump. (We’ve heard that before over the last 4 years so…”now we got him”). If a grand jury indicts Trump, any reelection plans would likely be doomed. Then 3 or 4 years will go by, he’ll be completely exonerated of whatever trumped (oh, see that) up charges. Democrat leadrership will say “yeah, but it worked” ala Harry Reid. The Democrat party’s modus operandi seems to be all subterfuge all the time. I like to call it “Connunism”.
