Let me make this pellucidly clear

[malaise]

There is no concept in political science called illiberal democracy.

That is RW authoritarian bullshit speak -they will soon come up with democratic fascism. Fuck this shit.
That is all

1. These euphemisms are meant to assure us that something's not as bad as we know it is.

[Voltaire2]

2. 2020 fascism is different than 1920 fascism.

While it is a mouthful ‘illiberal democracy’ accurately describes countries like Hungary, where Orban and his party have retained the facade of democratic institutions, subverted to keep his party in power unchecked by courts or legislatures. It is not quite the farce of one party ‘democracies’ like China. There are opposition parties and they could conceivably regain power. See for example Poland, which was going down the same path Orban pioneered.

Fascist seems more descriptive to me.

3. Conservatives Ruin Everything

They are not stalwarts of tradition, they are obstructionists of anything progressive the people of this country really need.

4. i heard them call democrats fascists. WOKEISM! we are meanies.

[Harker]

5. "No puppet... no puppet... you're the puppet."

It's a childish tactic, redirecting criticism in that manner, but it seems to work with their audience.
