    First of all, the US doesn’t have actual democracy in the first place so there is nothing to dismantle other than the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Secondly, at this point if the Republicans do succeed in dismantling “liberal democracy” it might very well end up being a step forward, because the veil of pretense will finally be gone and the US empire exposed naked for what it really is. Also the bourgeois order will be heavily destabilized and an ideological vacuum created where the legitimacy of the bourgeois system used to be, making it easier for us to fill that vacuum with agitating and organizing for socialist revolution than to constantly have to fight against the liberal delusions that the masses are kept docile with.

    But this is a moot point anyway because the Republicans will do no such thing, they benefit just as much from the status quo as the Democrats do, they have no incentive to upend it, so all this is is fearmongering to get the liberals to keep voting blue no matter who.
