The Gist
The author argues that Democrats told major lies during the campaign by claiming Trump would destroy democracy and become a dictator. Since Trump won and democracy is still functioning normally, these predictions were false and Democrats should be remembered as liars rather than getting a free pass.
Conclusion
Democrats deliberately spread false claims during the campaign that Trump would destroy democracy, and these lies should not be forgotten or excused now that they have been proven wrong.
Premises
- Democrats claimed Trump would end democracy and establish authoritarian rule if elected
- Democrats predicted Trump would persecute and imprison political opponents
- Democrats warned that Trump's victory would mean the apocalypse and destruction of the United States
- Time has passed since Trump took office and none of these predictions have materialized
- Democracy, separation of powers, elections, and constitutional governance continue to function normally under Trump
- The Democratic Party has become 'empty of ideas and stuffed with slogans' that dissolve after elections
- These false claims about democracy were particularly egregious because they concerned 'the most sacred thing in the United States'
Assumptions
- Campaign promises and predictions should be evaluated for truthfulness after elections
- There is a meaningful distinction between legitimate political criticism and deliberate lies
- Politicians should be held accountable for false claims even after elections end
- Democracy and constitutional governance can be objectively measured and evaluated
- The current state of American democracy under Trump can be fairly compared to previous administrations
