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 Trump indictment is bringing out the craziest of the crazy

For example: Representative Clay Higgins R-LA went on Twitter to encourage armed militias to rise up in opposition to Trump’s Tuesday arraignment.

Look him up. Four wives. Five short stints in law enforcement jobs before being elected to Congress. Higgins is a violent egotistical lunatic…when he’s having a good day.

His career path also included managing several used car dealerships.

And carrying a pistol on his hip and challenging critics to fights.
