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.

Here’s a partial list of things that Democrats DO NOT DO

1) Issue death threats to people who are on the other side of the political spectrum, regardless of the amount of disdain they hold for those people.

2) Threaten the families of those on the other side.

3) Plaster their homes and trucks with flags and stickers of their party leader, ESPECIALLY when it is not election season.

4) Shoot their mouths off, at every conceivable social gathering, making sure that the entire room knows their political affiliation.

5) Take whatever their party leader says on blind faith.

6) Look at something that is put in front of them on Facebook or Twitter, and immediately accept it as the truth . . . and call it “research”.
