"SNIP.....

David Eichenthal: “Democrats have the opportunity to widen the playing field in 2022 with the right candidates, a message focused on economic growth and—a surprise to some—a clear pro-democracy appeal designed to woo the one-quarter to one-third of Trump voters who are Liz Cheney Republicans.”

“We asked voters (in a Tennessee district Trump won easily) a battery of questions to see if there were any disqualifying issues. For example, 15% of voters said that there was no chance that they would consider a candidate who supported mandatory background checks.”

“But the most surprising result was that 45% of poll respondents said that there was no chance that they would consider a candidate who voted to block the certification of the presidential election after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.”

it holds a lot of weight. Say it loud - Qanon, white nation nationalist, etc. are non-democratic, unpatriotic, and are pro fascism.

For me personally, I considered them pro-dictatorship.
