“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism, they will abandon democracy.” - David Frum
We are here, folks. They are planning civil war if they don’t win an election already rigged in their favor.
They can try. Were it to come to that, they are badly outgunned and outnumbered.
