America Can Have Democracy or Political Violence. Not Both.

Yet, we still have democracy and violence.

Another old saying was that we cannot have democracy unless we are informed and participate; yet, we have democracy although few of us are informed and vote. We have actually seen a significant turnout in voting in recent years (despite claims of "voter repression").

Many are strongly motivated to vote Democratic or Republican in 2022, but most of those people cannot name their senators or representative or most of the people they will vote for (even after they have just voted).

Yes but the GQP doesn't want Democracy. That's the point. They say they are true Americans but their words and action tell otherwise.

That is not the point of the OP which said we cannot have democracy and political violence. To say one party does not want democracy is an unrealistic stretch. Some of the Democrats on JPP don't want to allow free speech to those they oppose, but to say Democrats don't want democracy is an unsound generalization and tries to picture a binary good v. evil world.

Read the OP again.
 
The embrace of conspiratorial and violent ideology and rhetoric by many Republican politicians during and after the Trump presidency, anti-government anger related to the pandemic, disinformation, cultural polarization, the ubiquity of guns and radicalized internet culture have all led to the current moment, and none of those trends are in retreat.

Donald Trump was the first American president to rouse an armed mob that stormed the Capitol and threatened lawmakers. Taken together, these factors form a social scaffolding that allows for the kind of endemic political violence that can undo a democracy. Ours would not be the first.
