Trump killed the Republican Party,

They now are an extremist hate group corrupted by trump and Putin , and so compromised by Putin and trump now from their being corrupted they have no choice but to still support trump and welcome in even more radical groups. The few remaining Republicans are going to be forced out of politics unless they switch party, because the Republican Party is dead. They're fascist, extreme fascist working to destroy our Democracy now, with putin's help. The Democrats will be next to be infiltrated by these extremist groups dividing them up , or from compromising them.

I am worried that if the press doesn't constantly expose the evil, they will normalize all the extremism and that would be terrifying.

Take a look at the republicans in Congress, that's the best of representation in the areas they represent? Yikes.

Who are we as a Country...we are in a fragile state and can be broken very easy. The real patriots need to stand up and call out the traitors among us, until this coup de'crap is completely put down.

Lindsey Graham should NOT get away with pressuring SOS to change election results. He should not only be removed from office but put in jail. He is a traitor, he doesn't believe in our Democracy.

The Republicans have always been able to respond as Twain did, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

The Republicans are willing to absorb any groups to bolster their numbers and it is dragging them further and further towards Fascism, but they have the qualities of a zombie. I wonder if there is any group that is so bad that the Republican's would not welcome them with open arms. If not the Proud Boys, Q, the Three Percenters, and other White Nationalist, than who?

there will be a bigger conflict between the right wing extremist traitors which are those in the Congress against the 5 who voted against tRump. Qanon will go down. Marjorie Taylor Greene will go down. McConnell is still the snake that he is.

(Spoiler alert, and for the TL/DR here: everyone in Hadleyburg was already corrupt at heart but didn't admit it or didn't realize it until one man's actions made it all very clear). Full text of Twain's classic short story at link. Project Gutenberg rocks!
