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.

This is the mental illness that has infected the entire Republican Party

In Virginia, one Ronald Hedlund is a member of the Republican Party of Virginias (RPV) Central Committee, the decision-making body for the state party. Hedlund recently attended a Little League baseball tournament in his area where he erected two signs, pictured below.

One sign — not readily visible — is an inflated tower that reads “FUCK BIDEN.”

The other sign is a 16-foot long penis with the words “BIDEN SUCKS”, mounted on a trailer so he can tow it around and display it.

This was at a Little League baseball tournament attended by kids and their parents and NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN HAS STOOD UP AND TOLD HEDLUND TO STOP IT. NOT ONE.
