The Arizona Republican Party has asked its followers if they are willing to die for the cause of overturning the presidential election results, eliciting alarm and criticism in response.

"I am willing to give my life for this fight," Alexander wrote. When sharing the post, the GOP asked followers: "He is. Are you?"
The GOP then posted a clip from the movie "Rambo", highlighting the quote: This is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something.

I've always liked that quote, though today it seems to apply best to "libertarians." nt

This is no joke. Anyone who thinks that things will "go back to normal" in Jan. is delusional.
