There are reasons for people to be concerned.Generally, Trump and those who support him are far more concerned with coming elections than the last ones. It seems that it’s Trump’s critics in both parties that simply cannot get over the fact that he and many of his supporters will not say that the election is free and fair. It’s not enough that they get their way - the demand that there must be consensus of public opinion. What upsets them is that they no longer control be boundaries of acceptable public discourse. That is why they have gone to such great lengths to drive speech they don’t like from social media. That’s is the aim behind cancel culture. Scolding people doesn’t work, so they do what they can to stop the discussion of issue they can’t or won’t debate, which is quite a few issues, really.
1) Republicans are using the Big Lie as an excuse to limit voting.
2) Republicans have created a cancel culture, where no one who believes the election was accurate and is willing to say so can stay in the party.
Even if (1) is likely to backfire and (2) might make it easier for Democrats to win, I don't want to see the Republican party become more extreme than it already is. I'd like to see a sane alternative to the Democrats.
