Let’s stop pretending that there’s anything respectable or legitimate about a party that consciously chooses murder threats to get and expand power.
The GOP is the Confederacy. They are traitors, inssurectionists. The GOP is about raw power, abuse of power, and using hatred and division — and murder — to get its way.
This isn’t hyperbole. Read about it HERE:

These threats are typical and part of a pattern of violence and intimidation used by the GOP against its opponents both within and outside their party of death. Remember: the vast majority of GOP officials who are STILL HOLDING OFFICE are illegally “serving” in violation of the United States Constitution. The 14th amendment unambiguously prohibits anyone who supports insurrection from holding office — except if 3/4 of the legislature votes to make an exception. That hasn’t happended, so the dominant force in our government is illegal. (Here’s the complete text of the amendment. See section 3. )
We’ve been seeing threats, intimidation and violence from the GOP for years now. January 6th was simply the most dramatic moment. But threats are routine. Their leader makes threats daily against jurors, judges, prosecutors, various officials and poll workers.
The Party faithful commit similar crimes.
Every vote taken by the illegal members of Congress, and the Senate and state legislatures are illegal. No bills passed with these illegal officeholders should be considered law. None should be enforced.
But the GOP and the illegal insurrectionist lawmakers ARE treated as if they were actual government officials. Nobody — I mean NOBODY — is enforcing the Constitution.
Essentially, the Democrats, independents, and pretty much everyone is failing at their jobs. Government officials are sworn to uphold the Constitution.
None are.
