    And this is completely fuelled by misinformation on the right. The Big Lie that Trump won in '20 and the election was stolen of course would be seen as a “threat to democracy” to MAGA. Of course then the prosecutions against Trump would seem illegitimate and political in nature, and again a “threat to democracy”. As would the notion that mail-in ballots and immigrants were causing illegal voting. It’s all fucking projection on Trump and Co’s part fulling the divisiveness of this country.
