You hear almost every Democrat utter their opponents are a "Threat to our democracy " with absolutely no explanation.
When will Republicans throw it back in their faces with its is, in fact, Democrats who want to end "democracy" with authoritarian government control?

Raw unfiltered democracy destroys freedom.
These idiots would probably be surprised to learn the the word "democracy" does not appear in the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution of the United States.
The founders were concerned with freedom and liberty, not democracy.
Democracy is a technique that may or may not help with the goal of freedom, depending on how it's implemented.

The GOP can’t bold faced lie and have the press cover for them like the Dems.

They should start saying “their democracy,” not your/American democracy. They mean their power
It literally makes no sense that people having the ability to elect someone to represent them being a threat to democracy. That is the definition of democracy.
So it’s their power, democrats, “their democracy” that is threatened by republican candidates being elected. Your power as a people is a threat to their power

Eh, plenty of African and South American dictatorships started with someone who won an election legitimately and they never walked away.

Bc they're afraid to yell "bullshite" every time it's said.

Well then I guess democracy is a threat to democracy… Democrats should cancel elections and retain power so we don’t end up with a dictatorship

If the republicans weren't compromised they would simply respond back with the truth. We're a republic, not a democracy.

Easy to counter - we're not a democracy.

The reality is the only thing keeping democracies from turning into dictatorships is strong institutions. It is the unelected members of what many here call "the deep state" that allow our way of life to continue.

It is easy to counter. You say "how so?", "explain what that even means.", "Do you even know what that means?", "do you know what type of government America is?".

democracy is nothing more then mob rule, 2 lions and 1 zebra vote on what to have for lunch, 2-1 the zebra is lunch, that's a democracy.
This is why our founding fathers gave us a Republic, in a Republic the zebra has rights and couldn't be the lunch no matter how many lions voted, mob rule be damned

Hamas is a treat to Democracy. Putin is a threat to Democracy. MAGA is a threat to Democracy. When everything is a threat to Democracy nothing is a threat to Democracy.

The key word is our not democracy.
“Our” means those who are in power working toward whatever common goal each of them in that sphere of influence want collectively.
They are not referring to the democratic processes that elect officials into governmental offices by the People.
So when someone like Trump or his followers gain power and influence, these people become a threat to their way of life of said elected officials and those who fund their grift.

I’ll counter it easily…we’re not even a democracy. That’s mob rule. We are a Constitutional Republic so there’s no democracy to threaten.

We're not a threat to democracy, we're a threat to the deep state money laundering

Because they're not Republicans and they're not trying to counter it. They're the GOOe, the controlled opposition wing of the Establishment Uniparty.
The easiest and fastest "mic-drop" rebuttal is that we're a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. Yet, even Republican candidates Trump, Desantis, Haley, Pence, etc. all still call us a "Democracy" all the time, without fail.
Speak a lie enough times and it becomes truth.
