The GOP has proven to be an even 'greater threat' to US democracy than Trump in 2021, experts warn.

Democracy experts are sounding the alarm.
Republican-led legislatures nationwide are taking extraordinary steps to restrict voting.
"The Republican party has proven to be a greater threat than Trump," one expert told Insider.
By the time Donald Trump left the White House, it was widely agreed upon that he was the most anti-democratic president in modern US history. He exhibited an unparalleled disdain for democratic institutions during his four years in power, and topped it all off by refusing to accept the legitimate results of the 2020 election and provoking a deadly insurrection at the US Capitol. It was unprecedented and the US is still dealing with the consequences.
On his way out the door, Trump was impeached for a second time for inciting the riot. A week later, President Joe Biden was inaugurated, and some scholars of democracy were hopeful that Trump's departure would open the door for the GOP to hit the reset button. But those feelings of optimism didn't last long as Republicans continued to show unwavering loyalty to Trump and his "big lie," and as GOP-led legislatures nationwide pushed for laws to restrict voting in extraordinary ways.

Again, that’s completely false allegations and untrue.
The actions which go against the US Constitution and Liberal Values today seem to be from the left - the Democrats and their like globally, like the Labor Party under Corbin.
That wasn’t always the case. In the 60s, 70s, 80s or in the past, they were liberal and true to their ethos about worker rights and fair pay. That’s when they had good politicians. That isn’t the case today.
The liberals seem to be the GOP and their like. Plus the more likely to be economy focused and liberal values. So liberal in fact that they apply this to guns in America’s case. And the more likely to focus on family values and law and order.
So we have had a shift. One that is very difficult to see by the average punter.
