      One of the biggest political divides cuts across the political spectrum: how seriously a problem is the GOP's authoritarian turn. There are leftists, liberals and conservatives who think it's not a big deal. And there are leftists, liberals and conservatives who think it is.

      It still seems like way too many Democrats believe they can just hold an authoritarian party at bay through legitimate means (winning elections) whereas an authoritarian party inherently rejects democracy. We’ve already seen evidence of this.

          Blue state secession has always been the only solution with some chance of working. And it's still only a small chance. Most likely, democracy is unsalvageable in the US.

          How else are you going to hold them at bay? I'm seriously asking what you are proposing.
