Republicans don't care if you die for them to gain total power

Here's the tremendous generalization I'm making: Republicans: "Deaths are necessary." Democrats: "Every life matters."

I really want some Republican to put up a post, right here, right now, telling me I'm wrong and why. Or I'd even like to hear from some Dem telling me I'm wrong and why.

The Republican Party has become, what is described in the oath for every federal office, "Domestic Enemies." They want total control of America. They don't give a shit about the constitution, our values, or our freedoms. They don't give a shit about anything but their own power. (And the stupid shits that keep voting for them don't get it and never will.)

Today's Republican Party is owned by the super wealthy. The Koch family, and others we've never heard of. Come the next election, everything we hold dear is on the line. And if they win/steal this one, they will control and own the 2024 election.

DU members. Democrats. People of conscience. Anyone who cares about freedom. Please hear what I'm saying. We're on the very edge of losing it all. The rest of the world has always looked up to us as what democracy and individual freedoms mean.

Each and every Democrat who can vote, or has to crawl to the polls, must do so. Our Domestic Enemies don't care if you live or die. Get to that poll, and pull every lever that says Democrat. We Dems sure as hell aren't perfect. But, unlike most Republicans, we do believe that life, democracy and freedom matter.

but they would gladly pull the trigger to further that end. In fact, they'd say they were justified.

and everything to do with controlling women. Once a baby is born, they can be starved, abused, or shot at school; that's all fine with the GOP.

It is a perfectly acceptable system according to the GQP
