Will democracy survive?

Thought for the day

If ever there was a prescription for democracy’s demise, this is it.  Looking ahead to the 2022 midterm elections, I wonder what Donald Trump's hand-picked candidates will say if they lose a close primary race?  Will they congratulate their GOP opponents or will they claim the election was rigged (i.e., stolen)?  

Donald Trump's emergence on the political scene since 2015 has meant different things to Republicans coast to coast.  I wonder if any of them ever thought the former president's repeated claims of voter fraud would so tarnish the integrity of elections that they, themselves, might end up helping to destroy democracy?
