They're using the exact bad faith BS that came from the bots/right/etc used to convince people to not vote and get us where we are today.

here's an article about authoritarianism and its fear-based nature that may be of interest to the discussion. To prevent it effectively, one has to understand the pressures making it attractive in the first place.

The key difference is they actually frigging did it instead of declaring the alternative wasn't good enough so didn't deserve their vote and staying home on election day.
