He was the liberal major party candidate in the race all along.
In this year’s presidential election, one party’s nominee took part in a primary, had the party’s voters decide whom they wanted, secured the nomination, and proceeded to get over 74 million votes in a decisive democratic victory.
The other party had no primary. Eventually, they decided their de facto presidential nominee was too feeble-minded, so they couped him and installed a new nominee with no primary. And she lost. Bigly.
But this is not what made Donald Trump the champion of liberalism in this race. The Democrats’ electoral process, or lack thereof, needs to be pointed out time and again. The party forever claiming that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy couldn’t be bothered to practice it.
But no, on top of this, Biden-Harris Democrats and their allies weaponized the legal system against Trump, attempted to throw him off state ballots, attempted to imprison him, forced third-party challengers off ballots, restricted free speech, and threatened to continue attacking and regulating free speech should they win.
These are the acts of authoritarians. This is tinpot dictator stuff not typically associated with modern American politics.
And the Democratic Party was comfortable with all of it as it was happening and would have grown even more comfortable with it had they continued to occupy the White House.
This sentiment is party-wide. I would argue with Democratic friends about the lawfare used against Trump. Most Democrats thought every charge against Trump was justified. They would not question it even a little. They had rationalized it. When I would insist that what so many Democrats now consider “misinformation” or “hate speech” was still protected speech, these people would reject this notion. Often vehemently.
