The Real Threat to Our Democracy

Julian Zelizer : Politicians endlessly warn us about the "threat to our democracy" posed by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans .

Zelizer says that claim is patently absurd on two fronts.

He asks: Do Trump and his supporters really pose a threat to democracy? He says Democrats have abandoned pretense of equal justice and adopted the same tactics used by tyrannical regimes.

In 2021 , Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal delivered a speech at an awards ceremony hosted by a Communist Party affiliate.

A poll conducted just a few years ago showed that 57 percent of Democrats actually had a more positive view of socialism than of capitalism.

Whether it's socialism, Marxism, or Maoism that captivates Democrats , their attacks on our Constitution reveal a deep disdain for our democratic way of life.
