Liberals act like Trump winning would be “the end of democracy” and that voting Biden is our only chance to save it, but if you press them on this, or lurk their private spaces, and ask them specifically what they think Trump winning a second term will entail, they’ll usually cave and admit they think the basic institutions of the US government will likely survive another Trump term, he’ll just throw a bunch of wrenches in the works and do bad stuff. This r/neoliberal thread shows this, half the commenters are admitting a second Trump term would likely be the same as the first, the country will survive but Trump and his gang with do a bunch of shenanigans.
So they know they’re being hyperbolic. And it’s hurting them, people remember the Trump presidency and things are about the same now as they were then. Nobody is buying the histrionics. So why are they doing it? A more honest presentation of the situation, “hey another Trump term will suck, voting Biden is just basic harm reduction” would probably be more convincing to average voters, and why focus so much energy on the tiny minority of anti-electoralist leftists in the country? They’re totally shooting themselves in the foot here.
