"Call this civic barbarism. Instead of promoting the values of responsible citizenship, Trump, Republican leadership, and their media enablers have elevated and blessed the very worst among us. They are making many Americans less suited for self-government and more dangerous to their neighbors. And they are doing so for the reason some of the Founders most feared: To lead the mob against true democracy." ― Michael Gerson, from 'Trumpism is American Fascism' (NOTE: Gerson is a staunch life-long conservative, who served as former President George W. Bush's chief speech writer.) As political commentator and former Republican presidential advisor Mark McKinnon so aptly put it recently, "The Republican party is at dysfunction junction." May disagree with conservative ideology and with their stances on many issues but do value and respect LOYAL opposition--a duty that the GOP has for too long forgotten and abdicated, putting personal and party interests before country. That is not only harmful to their party, it is harmful to our democracy and institutions. And it has come to represent a serious threat to our very security.

There must be federal charges and respective state charges against each individual involved in this massive coordinated Republican election fraud scheme employing fake slates of electors in nine states. Those guilty need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to send a loud and clear message so that something like this never happens again.

Republicans are willing to gain and hold power at any cost...even if the price is our democracy! Farmer wakes up one morning, goes outside to milk his cows, and discovers his entire herd is missing! So, he then walks over nest door to where the Republican cult lives, notices them grinding a whole bunch of beef into hamburger, and asks them, "Did you see what happened to all my cows?" Republican cult: "Yeah, they jumped over the moon." Farmer: "Do you have any actual evidence of that?" Republican cult: "No, because they landed on the dark side, and you can't see them over there. But we're conducting a bunch of investigations and fraudits, and we're confident evidence will soon emerge to prove it!" Farmer: "You know, that sounds like a load of manure!" Republican cult: "Well, that's what we all choose to believe!"

Corrupt antidemocratic Congressional Republicans and fascist GOP cult are not upset about the horrific carnage resulting from Traitor-'n-Thief Trump's autogolpe and seditious terrorist insurrection on January 6th...only that it failed. Nor do they care about all the other related fraudulent attempts by Trump and Republicans to overturn a free and fair election, or about the undermining of our democracy and weakening of our nation that they have caused and continue causing. It must be remembered that Republicans are still whipping up the crazies, still fomenting unfounded anti-government sentiment, violence and domestic terrorism. Not just the Republicans actively doing so like Greene, Gosar and Gaetz, but all those other Republicans who through their silent acquiescence aid and abet them. Unfortunately, because it has refused to clean up its act, the GOP has become rotten to the core, transformed into a fascist, nihilistic cult.

GOP cult: “Democracy is great…only so long as we can subvert it with lies, cheating, a multitude of Jim Crow voter suppression laws, egregious gerrymandering, obstruction, coups, election interference, election fraud, sedition, insurrection and terrorism to gain power and maintain our corrupt, plutocratic, minority fascist rule!”
