I can't disagree. But, paraphrasing Churchill, (true) democracy is indeed 'the worst form of government except for all the others.'

And Americans will be given opportunities to remedy their mistakes. Both this year and especially in 2028.

We might find that MAGA having the freedom to speak their mind will turn enough of the electorate against them. Or we will continue to choose poorly and suffer the consequences.

But those consequences will have been arrived at honestly. And that matters.
