Just goes to show Democrats (in general) either don't know or don't care about all that imminent danger they kept going on about. Their privilege insulates them in both cases, and they don't care that we will run towards theocracy and authoritarianism—with the rest of us bearing the brunt of it all.
I don't think both parties are the same, but I do think Democrats are complicit by failing to do anything substantial to prevent this slide into fascism, naively acting like "playing fair" with people using guerilla tactics and chasing moderate voters on the right was viable strategy.
Until Republicans go full fascist and start locking up their political enemies, Democrats will keep taking their payoffs while watching the rest us suffer.
Change the first word to "while" and you're right. It's already a fascist party and the Dem leadership is still doing business as usual.
