No, the person most likely to end democracy will advocate rolling back freedoms to ‘preserve’ it, or to punish the wicked people that are considered their political enemies. The most likely person won’t be a Democrat, but will almost certainly be a leftist that starts their own populist political party
Fascism has always been a right wing ideology. While leftists have made some terrible mistakes, you shouldn’t pretend they are the only or main threat to democracy.
Leftists don’t believe America can be saved, they wouldn’t “roll back freedoms,” whatever the heck that means, they would dismantle the state and build up a new one.
If I have a bowl of rice, and one of the grains is actively trying to end my way of life, I don’t mind when someone shoots at it with an assault rifle.
First of all: rice doesn’t have that kind of agency
Second of all: shooting at a grain of rice in your bowl with an assault rifle is many times more likely to hit you than that specific grain of rice
Third, if that’s REALLY the best analogy you could think of, you should just stop the whole “communicating your thoughts to other people” thing. Evidently it’s not something you’re ever going to get the hang of.
Fourth and finally: a propos of nothing except the fact that I just listened to an episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, horses are overrated, and not just by the McElroy brothers.
If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.
Edit: a bystander was killed and so was the 20 year old gunman. This is the human life I’m referring to.
Paradox of tolerance: Trump will end democracy and even more lives.
There is no way to know if he wouldnt have just turned into martyr and help elect someone even worse

I don’t even know the news how can I feel mixed
Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.
I see. Thanks
Sorry but most politicians don’t care about democracy either, just enriching themselves and close friends
I don’t have to have feelings about something to value it.

We aren’t running out of humans, and we don’t live in a democracy…
Turns out you don’t have to be running out of humans to value human life.
