Hey Geoffrey, looking back at it, I can see why this appears partisan even though that was not my intention. My post was not meant to demonize my compatriots who happen to vote Republican or identify as conservative. It was meant to educate and bring awareness to an EA cause area, protecting liberal democracy.
According to the 80k hyperlink I included in my post, it is a pressing issue. This is a large-scale issue as the United States is arguably the most influential geopolitical power in the world and has cultural and political influence around the globe on ensuring or protecting liberal democracies. (I’m not taking a side on whether US intervention in bringing liberal democracies is a net good or net bad, but history and the present (Ukraine) have shown how impactful U.S. involvement can be.)
I definitely could’ve used a better term than “Donald Trump supporters” in my first paragraph as not all of his supporters want to commit election fraud.
However, facts are facts. Regardless of someone’s politics, acknowledging the undermining of liberal democracy is necessary, especially when there are such detrimental consequences.
I appreciate your constructive criticism and will take it into account in future posts and edit this post to make it seem less partisan.
