The Republican Party is the key enemy of Democracy in the United States

and to some extent, around the world.

They clearly do not respect the Constitution. They are attacking it every chance they get.

They support a man who tried to use brute force to steal an election.

They care only for their wealth and power, and not for their constituents.

30 years ago they were a nasty bunch, but this is different. There were lots of Republican jerks, but they were not trying to destroy the country.

False messaging and information from the media and social networking has made this much worse than it would be otherwise.

They have already rigged the system to assure minority rule.

GOTV seems pointless and even impossible in most instances because the structural problems are baked into our system.

I am at a loss as to how we move forward.

Your life? They are so worthless. And their supporters are also idiots for being scammed to vote against their best interests.

House member voted for the infrastructure bill although they all knew the bridges in their own state were in poor condition.

We can not depend on the media to tell the truth. They came out today with Biden is trying to do a reset. Not one word about how well the economy is doing. 6 million new jobs, economy better than it has been u
In years. Plans for new manufacturing. The same old tired litany.

They know it is insane to be on the tiger's back, but can't get off.
