Infiltrated': GOP senator angered that Democrats are allowed to participate in American life

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is angered Democratic voters are allowed to go to church, college, and be employed by those institutions and even the federal government, saying they have “infiltrated” these essential areas of American life and many others.

An elections and COVID conspiracy theory promotor, Senator Johnson, appearing on far-right-wing talk show host Mark Levin’s Sunday night Fox News show, declared, “what this entire election is about is fighting for freedom.”



On Sunday Johnson suggested to Levin that liberals, Democrats, and anyone on “the left” as he put it, do not have an inherent right to participate in American life on an equal footing as Republicans.

And he accused Democrats of “infiltrating” American life four times.

Christians are so dumb, they made me senior warden for a while. I still sing in their "choir." Stupid Anglicans.

I think we need to check him into a hospital. This way of thinking is outrageous. We could turn it around and say the same thing about republicans.

Less Equal than anyone else, simply for the sake of them being Republicans.
NOT EVER. (And that's the difference, I suppose)..

As an aside....of course this was Levine...that traitorous little goblin is capable of nothing less.

Damnest things just a bit farther down the hole. I’ll bet they’ll be glad to have the election over. They won’t have to keep coming up with this shit. I know they have no shame or morals, but they’ve got to be tired of coming up with this crap, and that is exactly what it is.

Remember that steaming pile of dogturds that was "The Flight 93 Election"? A far-right writer claimed that the right had to "storm the cockpit" of the USA or "the terrorists" - you know, the Democrats who had just peacefully and fairly successfully run the executive branch for 8 years - would "crash the USA". And the Republicans dutifully fell in behind the criminal Trump (who gave the writer a job in government afterwards).

For that matter, it was the bullshit that worked for Hitler in the early 1930s. Sorry, I had to go Godwin. But Johnson is indulging in Nazi-adjacent dehumanization of political opponents. Hitler did it to socialists and communists, as well as to ethnic groups he wanted to commit genocide on.
