Why I am learning this form Lemmy and nowhere else
And where are democrats screenings and making this a big deal?
People need to look Hungary and understand to protect democracy everyone need to have a united front, even if it’s not the perfect candidate only with everyone using their right to vote, they can make their voice to be heard

Trump actually (probably accidentally) made a masterful play in 2020. Democrats spent 4 years shutting down his insane-sounding claims that the election was stolen, and the ‘The election was stolen’ rhetoric became so synonymous with crazy that they couldn’t even question the results in 2024 despite obvious interference, and I think it’s still keeping them from putting up a fight over it now. They’re afraid that all of the republicans will just throw everything they said in 2020 right back at them, as if this situation is even remotely the same thing, and that it will make them look like the crazy ones.

Hell, even Liberals do that when you point out how the DNC leadership abuse their control of the primaries to make it many times more difficult for a progressive with popular policy positions to win than an out of touch establishment favorite.
The moment you mention that objectively real and undemocratic power imbalance, apparatchiks start with the “that’s EXACTLY the same as Trump said” gaslighting.

Pretty much this. Though it wasn’t a play by Trump, it was just how it played out.
