Hey Dony, 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.
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.
As I said, protecting liberal democracy isn’t one of my main interests or expertise so I don’t have the background to do a specific theory of change with an expected value calculation.
I appreciate the feedback and will learn from this post.
