The difference being Republicans have been saying that for... 60 years now?

Democrats have only started seriously saying that since Trump.

You can argue slightly for Bush and retaliation for 9/11. But nobody was thinking the state of American democracy was at stake lol.

Plenty of Democrats allowed nuance for misguided Republicans right up until they voted for Trump a second time. Or saying the quiet part out loud, or preferred convicted pedophiles over the other team.

It ripped the rose tinted glasses off. Most people who lean even slightly left know better now. What your average republican voters says means nothing if you continue voting in fascists lol.
