You don't get denialism without nihilism. As life-long conservative Bill Kristol astutely pointed out, the Republican party has embraced nihilism. Republicans still labeling COVID-19 a "hoax;" Republicans still refusing to wear masks or social distance after over half-a-million American fatalities from COVID-19; Congressional Republicans obstructing a COVID-19 stimulus bill certain to pass just to delay vital and urgently needed relief to Americans desperate for help; not one Congressional Republican in either chamber voting for the badly needed stimulus bill; Republican governors dropping mask mandates and all restrictions on businesses, heedless of rising case counts in their states and deadly new variants of the virus; and Republican leaders continuing to push the Big Lie that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen without evidence and in disregard of plentiful evidence and facts to the contrary, even AFTER their Big Lie incited a terrorist attack by a mindless Republican mob against the nation's Capitol in insurrection against the government, attempting to overturn a legitimate election, sieging, storming, sizing, sacking, defiling, defacing and disgracing America's citadel of, and temple to, democracy--these are all prime examples of nihilism.

America's enemies don't need to spread disinformation, doubt, discord, and division to weaken America, kill Americans--Republican politicians, Reich-wing demagogues, Faux News, OAN, Newsmax, Breitbart and the rest of the Reich-wing media do that so effectively for them, already. More Americans need to realize that the GOP has abdicated it's duty as loyal opposition, and that its prioritization of party over country and welcoming embrace of violent radical Reich-wing extremists diminishes both our government and our national security, endangering ALL Americans, as well as weakening and endangering America itself.
