Phlubba might be referring to right wing youths who would hypothetically vote against Biden or not vote at all, cascading into a loss of US Democracy and eventually the fall of NATO and potentially democracy across the world as a whole. I don't think our situation is necessarily that bad, but it's definitely one of many possible futures.

What does this have to do with free unicorn ponies or the discussion at hand?

Ah, that would be a metaphor. "Blaze it with their free unicorn pony" is supposed to represent any unrealistic and fundamentally flawed policy goal that the aforementioned hypothetical children would be willing to risk the end of democracy if they do not obtain. Again, I don't necessarily agree with their statement, but it at least is coherent enough.
