    We know Trump lied about the election. He staged a coupt to try to maintain power based on those lies which many of his followers are still paying the price. Hell the Fulton County DA just announced they have evidence team Trump was involved in voting systems breaches across several states.

    To think this man is the right man to make your candidate says a great deal about the moral and ethical foundations of both republicanism, and the people that choose to support the party as they prop this traitor up.

    I hope you all are paying attention. They don’t quell calls for civil war in their ranks. In fact its celebrated as a rallying cry. Republicans are doing everything in their power to subvert democracy and steal our country from the rest of us.

    I would argue at this point you cannot be a republican without being a seditionist seeking to install their christofascist dictatorship, whether that’s subscribing to the whole bag or supporting as a single issue voter. If you guve them power you are responsible for what they use it for.

    These people have been hopped up on so much lies and bullshit dressed up as “patriotism” that they are a very real threat to any American just trying to live their lives and get by. Ask trans Americans how the last couple of years have been as the target of their hate and bigotry.

      The info about the voting machines was leaked to a journalist, not announced.

      […] says a great deal about the moral and ethical foundations of […] republicanism

      That’s just it. There are no moral or ethical foundations to it, just devotion to whatever the party or its talking heads hand down

      That’s what makes the GOP so fragile and so monstrous- it’s all followers, none with ideas of their own and most willing to resort to (or accept) political violence over fealty to tribe or sect

        The gravy seals are not going to do shit. The army of boomers are not going to do shit. The only thing that will happen is small groups and individuals will engage in straight up terrorism under the guise of civil war. Alt-right terrorism is virtually ensured.
