This is why no Republicans should ever be allowed into office.

Ever.

I love 1 party states when I agree with the party

Well if the gop folds then I’m sure you’d get a new 2nd party.

Why would competition continue to exist if the precedent of being able to abolish the competing party ever holding office were already set?

As of 2020, six parties have members in the federal parliament of Russia

Do you think, by your measure, that America will ever achieve the same level of democracy as Russia?

Or is it possible that your conclusion doesn’t follow from the premise?

I never said more parties means more democracy. I did say prohibiting the primary opposition party from holding office was less democracy.

You mean we should tolerate insurrectionists because we must hold up the principles of democracy until the bitter end, at which point they will eviscerate them?

It’s a wildly bad take, I’ll be honest. And hopefully you see how you missed my point.
