    David Atkins Retweeted Dan McLaughlin

    The preservation of existing institutions of democracy requires that the current incarnation of what we call "conservatism" must be utterly defeated pending realignment. Empowering conservatism as currently constituted is a guarantee of authoritarianism & a dead planet.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1108148887271940096 …

    If you're wondering if the mindset behind the court-packing proposals can be reconciled with civil politics & preservation of existing institutions of democracy rather than a drive to push conservatives to extinction, read this thread https://twitter.com/DavidOAtkins/status/1107708072980471808 …

        It seems like you want a civil war. Good luck with that. 🤣

        There was no civil war in California. There won't be another one in America either. Good luck with that. (and psst...the racist conservative rural agrarians lost the last civil war to the industrialized social liberals. So...you know...)

        What you call conservatism isn't. You're actually referring to Trump Republicanism. If you don't know the difference then you should stop tweeting about it.

        lol your party IS Trump now. Trump and Fox News. It's not changing for a long time. Your next candidate will be even worse.

        "Do whatever it takes" and "conservatism must be defeated" sounds like authoritarianism to me.pic.twitter.com/TvO39dq7K9

        That's not authoritarianism. That's democracy. Just putting an end to your unfair structural advantages that are basically a legacy of pro-slavery forces.

        That's a rather authoritarian mindset.

        There’s nothing more authoritarian than progressives and you’re proving the point marvelously.
