No they pearl clutch and love America and the democracy it has. But they have been taught that Democrats/Liberals are horrible, disgusting people. It’s a knee jerk reaction at this point. My brother, who is hardcore maga, said “no I don’t think they are talking about you. You aren’t a ‘liberal’”. Like he was saving me from a terrible slur. And I had to nicely tell him that I am, in fact, liberal.
It kind of feels like the hatred against “the gays” in the 90s. They need someone to hate and right now it’s the Democrats and liberals, and I guess everyone else the media has told them to hate (lgbtq, trans, etc).
Ackchyually it’s not a democracy, it’s a constitutional republic, and those are words I read off a screen. They mean that my political team is better than yours and that owning land should give my political team more voting rights than yours.
Do these people mean it as democracy per se or just the democratic party? Just trying to understand your country’s stage of fascism.

They need to understand what you get when you remove 1 party from a 2 party system.
They don’t even know the rules, they just make up or move be flag pole as needed…
These people aren’t sophisticated enough to know that small-d democrats are a thing
