They cite Trump's remarks about executing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, his Vice President deserving lynching, and undermining confidence in elections as potential threats. The speaker challenges the listener to define what would qualify as a threat to democracy if Trump's behavior over the past four years does not.

Republicans represent extremism that threatens the foundations of the republic and are a threat to democracy.

Kamala should stop saying that Trump is a threat to democracy because it's being received as a call to action.
