Question: Do Republicans want a dictator? Jennifer Rubin: Yes. [1]

This week during columnist Jennifer Rubin’s live chat, one reader asked the question in my diary’s title.

Ms. Rubin responded:

From what many MAGA lawmakers and Trump supporters say and do, one can only conclude they have given up on democracy. They didn't respect the 2020 results; they oppose easy access to the ballot for minority voters; they refused to allow President Obama to fill Justice Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court; they refuse to accept the FBI and Justice Department acted properly in investigating and indicting Trump; and they couldn't care less if Trump purloined secret documents. Hence their fettish for saying, "We're not a democracy, we're a republic."

Sure sounds like a “yes” to me. It’s really good to see a mainstream commentator tell it like it is. As I have said before, we should all give thanks to the principled conservatives who stood against fascism in the middle of the last century and those who are standing up for democracy today are no less deserving of our thanks and respect.
