Too Many Dare Not Call It War - But the GOP Is Waging War on America

The bills in GA and AL are backward and appalling.

The far-right extremists are attacking women.

They're attacking immigrants and Border Patrol is colluding with fascist, non-government militias...then denying it even though they've been caught multiple times feeding extremist militias intelligence.

They're attacking voting rights.

They're inciting violence against two female, immigrant women in Congress.

The police are still attacking Black people like it's a sport.

Too many dare not call it warfare because that's supposed to be a word used only for foreign American empire engagements abroad. But no, the right-wing is DEFINITELY waging war on America right now and everything a liberal democracy is supposed to represent. I personally think many have embraced extremism because they know their ideas are not popular and they can't win in an equal democratic setting. I think there is a large enough group of people in this country who do not believe in democracy that it's now become a problem.

The media knows this, and because they appeal to power and make a lot of money off of the chaos...they're not keeping it real with the state of American politics. Well, I do see some who are, but as a group the media is not doing enough.

Much of the crimes of ICE and simply not being covered.

White supremacist terrorism is at an all-time high.

This country is in terrible shape right now.

They're attacking democracy with gerrymandering and limiting access to voting machines.
They're assaulting established empirical facts with fantasies.
And their rooting section: Fox Noise, has been calling it a Culture War for decades to their well armed legion of chumps.
