It is time for Dems to make it pellucidly clear that MAGAReTHUGs did not just attack Capitol police

with American flags but many also used TRUMP flags. Indeed, there must be ads showing them tearing down the American flag and replacing it with the flag of the Slobfather.
And never forget who led them on those tours of the Capitol buildings.

The radicalized Republican party has allied itself with Putin, Orban, and Murderous Bone Saw to take down the United States.

Recent evidence of their radicalization:



That could have been taken as tongue-in-cheek except for the fact that the whole CPAC conference was filled with speeches threatening violence. Oh, and the crowd treating Viktor Orban like a rock star seemed a bit strange for a U.S. political party.

Viktor Orbán laid out his dark worldview to the American right — and they loved it

It took a full year, but the CPAC stage set-up and its accompanying message went from subliminal to in-your-face. They say that honesty is the best policy, and that would include having the enemy define itself for all to see.

Specifically targetting the Vice-President, and the Speaker of The House as well. And any other Congressperson they could get their hands on. When the likes of Jeff Hawley frantically runs from the very mob he helped to provoke, it leaves no doubt as to the degree of retribution against "the system" that they were determined to undertake.

He pretty much said the same thing I am saying. These people present a clear and present danger to America and our way of life.

Republicans think of themselves as America first patriots when they are quite the opposite.
