Like the Never Trumpers that identify as real conservatives. I don't even identify them by name anymore, rather imagine they are same shithead at different ages/in a super state.
My problem with the Never Trumpers is that, instead of having valid criticisms of Trump (the deficits, as an example), they instead go crazy over him calling someone fat on Twitter. To be a principled conservative, you have to put policy above everything else. Thomas Sowell abhors Trump's rhetoric, but still voted for him. Why? His policies are conservative and what our country needed.
I knew a Never-Trumper at my workplace. His problem with Trump was that Trump had worked with the Mob to build buildings in New York. My problem with this was the so did everyone else. You had to, back then, if you wanted to get anything done. My main problem with this guy was that he was a dyed-in-the-wool Neo-con. He really did fit the Liberal Stereotype of wanting to bomb all the Brown People further into the Stone Age.
Replace 'electorate' with the real problem, the ' brokenvoting system, and the corrupt courts that allow it', and the problem is just as bad, probably worse.
Complacency builds contempt. This country has had it too good for too long. And we a reaping what we have sewn. On this site, most of us had a decent upbringing. We know our history, and how to live to avoid the pitfalls of all forms of degeneracy. The rest of the country is dragging us with them into the bowels of hellacious, communistic, dictatorial rule. I will not comply, and will raise my children to be hard American.
Perhaps one of the worst things about the level of mass stupidity we're seeing now is that it has taken decades to grow to this point and all the warning signs were already there. Stagnating and fumbling democracies tend to offer hints of degrading structural integrity long before their eventual collapse. It's usually quite easy to tell when a democratic ecosystem is unhealthy.
A common ailment of a broken democracy is stagnation and a shift away from the people as the primary decider. Signs of this are:
Dynasties. Nepotism. Political positions and opportunities appear to be passed down family lines. For example, two member of the Bush family, the Clinton family, Kennedy family, etc.
Politicians that appear to have an effectively permanent position. In power for decades.
Safe seats. States and groups of people guaranteed to vote only one party.
Previous appointees as likely candidates. For example, Biden as VP then later as president. Clinton sold on simply having been in the political system already (years of experience). Political relationships to previous appointees. Signs of cronyism.
All of the above combined with the candidates being demonstrably poor quality. There are no other positive qualities about the candidates that stand out leaving the above as the only reasons they are being chosen in many cases.
A democracy requires an informed populace by a fair press overall that is balanced and should either reflect society or take a neutral stance. Instead nearly all the major corporations responsible for information services with the lions share of the audience and their attention saying to vote for one person and only covering on candidate equally. Any normal person would cry foul because that looks like anti-competition. Companies are meant to compete and be rivals but here they all are acting as one. If 95% of the press coverage says Clinton/Biden good, Trump bad but among the public it's 50/50 then you don't have a democratic press.
A lack of an honest grassroots bottom up system of entering into politics and rising to the top. Most candidates chosen and supported from within the existing order or by specific parties with wealth and influence.
Lawmaking that effects voting directly and blatantly to increase their own votes.
The Republicans are not entirely free from these problems either but the cancer hasn't metastasised fully like it has with the Democrats. Some of these hints turn into definite signs of trouble when you add other obvious factors.
For example, if Biden had been a good VP and Clinton a good SoS then it would at least make sense. If they had simply been average then that wouldn't have been so bad at least. They were both awful and scandalised. They were bad in those positions.
Consider that institutes and corporations with any influence almost unanimously decided to promote Clinton/Biden artificially inflating their popularity while doing the opposite to Trump making the equivalent of a five billion campaign versus a five hundred billion campaign and their candidates still barely struggle to break even then it should be painfully obvious that Democrats are fielding awful candidates. If both were treated equally then Trump would quite likely get at least two thirds of the vote in both elections. If you remove just that one thing, grotesque universal corporate and institutional bias then I strongly suspect the voting population will look a lot less idiotic.
If you look at the incredible amount of compensation which is constantly being ramped up the only conclusion I can come to is that the Democrat party is naturally unpopular among the people and growing even more unpopular. The USA is a naturally Republican country being forced to be a Democrat country through artificial means. If democracy were allowed to take its natural course in the USA there would be no Democrat party. It wouldn't be a viable opposition or it would have to turn into an alternative Republican party.
This is a recursive problem. The more you compensate for a party failing to field naturally popular candidates the more they will pick naturally unpopular candidates and the more you have to compensate. Before long you find yourself compensating to such a degree it's possible for them to even put Joseph Stalin on the throne.
The electorate didn't elect Bidet / Harass.
No, they didn't. But unfortunately enough idiots voted for him across the country to bring him close enough that the cheat was possible.

It is as if Never Trumpers are democrats in disguise.
I think Frank Sinatra sang about this:
to cheat, the impossible cheat
They installed who they wanted, votes were irrelevant

No, if the population wanted this it would be worse. The article has that much right.

Sauce / link / source ?
There isn't one. The guy just posted some random thing.
I just did a search for this statement, and there is ZERO indication that it's true. Where did you get this?
The Czech Republic just kicked Pence where his nuts would be.
Um...Trump won. Like, by a lot.
Biden is a symptom of the diease
We see it too Czechs. How about providing military support to the sane ones here?
AT&T social media companies.
well and good, except we didn't make him anything, not even dog catcher, the guy was lucky to get 40 million votes, half of what Trump received.
Dominion made him our pResident, not us. There are more than enough fools in this country, but not enough for him to win a fair election.

Love Czechia.
Umm...No! That's not what happened.
