Tie the Republican party to autocracy.

[gab13by13]

Matthew Dowd is a smart cookie, he was on Nicolle yesterday and made this crucial point. We need to stop only blaming the militias and MF45 for the insurrection. We need to tie the entire Republican party, minus Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to the insurrection, to autocracy, to being anti-Constitution, anti-democracy, anti-law enforcement. He stated that the Republican party is carrying on the insurrection, it didn't end on 1/6. The Republican party is stoking The Big Lie, is passing anti-democratic election laws, is obstructing any investigation into the 1/6 insurrection.

The only way to beat back this threat against our democracy is to beat Republicans soundly in the next election and the next election and the next election. The Republican party is an autocratic anti-democratic, anti-Constitutional, anti-American party. The word bipartisan gives me chills. Only 2 Republicans should be considered on the House select committee, 2, that is it, and then televise every damn hearing.

Matthew Dowd gets it, we need to follow his example.

1. I think the repugs should be branded as fascist. Iseems to me that the talking heads

want to say the word fascist but seem afraid.

9. Doesn't matter what we call them if no one hears it.

The Republicans have a media machine in "fly-over" country that is completely dominant.

They are certainly not afraid to use the word "fascist", even going often with "socialist-fascist".

I think the Democrats biggest mistake was in ceding vast swathes of our nation to the Right Wing Hate media.

In rural areas, you hear no other views. Broadcast radio, broadcast TV, community newspapers owned by far-off corporations, conservative churches.

You can no more avoid this poison than you can swim in the ocean without getting wet.

2. Time to call a spade a spade. GQP is the American Facist Party...

GQP = AFP

3. as others have already noted, we are dancing are the truth with "white supremacist"...

christian nationalist, conservative, reactionary...just tell it like it is. The GOP has evolved into a more and more extremist party. It started with Reagan and has continued. We elected a black President and the right went batshit. The fundie evangelical right has risen in power in the GOP and on the right. The Pig finished the transformation.

A majority of the right in this country have become a modern day American fascists with a fundamentalist christian extremism on the side. Christofascism.

Ultra-nationalist
Militaristic and Militant
Fear Mongering
Scapegoating
Racist
Misogynistic
Selective Populist
Propagandist
Corporatist

6. They want to fundamentally change our Democracy

I think we have failed at messaging so far. The GOP is the anti American Democracy party. Need to find a label that conveys that and sticks.

7. Yeah, but autocracy is exactly what these people seem to want.

It's practically the GOP's selling point.

8. Yep, Repukes want a Putin-styled kleptocratic autocracy.

And they’re falling over each other to grab a piece of that grifter pie!
