- well_actulily 3y agoI'd suggest that anyone coming into a comment section with vague anti-democratic platitudes is not worthy of a good faith discussion over their precise meaning. If they're unwilling to state their position outright, I think it's entirely fair to chalk them up as a dog-whistling fascist in the current climate.

- mcpackieh 3y agoI invited him to clarify his remarks and he has not chosen to do so. Being deliberately vague when criticizing democracy is a bad look but whatever he really believes is evidently even worse.
