Our Constitutional Republic faces a clear and present danger more deadly than that of the Civil War. The danger is the Republican Party, a "political party" that has sold out to white supremacy, autocracy, misogyny, and hatred of everything our Nation stands for. Republicans dismiss any sense of a common American narrative. The "Republican Party" is an outlier in our history – ideologically extreme; contemptuous of social and economic policies that have sustained us for a century; unwilling to compromise; dismissive of evidence, fact, and science; dismissive of the legitimacy of any viewpoint except their own. America needs to face the simple, frightening fact that the Republican Party is a clear and present danger to our Constitutional Republic.
The only thing police did wrong in Jan 6 was to shoot and kill one J6er. Should have stacked up the bodies about six high all around the Capitol.
In other countries, when a coup fails, those who attempted the coup either:
1. Are executed, often on the spot.
2. Go to jail for a loooong time.
3. Are exiled to a foreign country, never to return home.
While I’m in favor of #1, 2 or 3 is fine.
