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 elementary rule of logic: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. The existence of “god” is everyday asserted without evidence, only with “faith”. Thus, if it can be asserted without evidence, the claim of “god’s” existence can be dismissed without evidence.
