Hi everyone

[Carthorse]

I think there is an opportunity for the republican party to start cracking. Who will pitty the far right racist? The abusers, the cons? I think strength is going to be on our side more and more. I hope to see a better America

4. No pity, no quarter

They've already split internally, and the GOP is losing registered voters and self proclaimed adherents.

There were Patriot Party flags among the seditionists at the Capitol, a stylized red and blue lion and a white field, a fictional mascot that could win a theoretical fight between an elephant or a donkey, for those who view politics as zero sum real life Call of Duty to be covered Sports Center style--our guy vs their guy painted with good guy vs bad guy spy vs spy satire into a toxic stew of hate and fear of US vs them.

Owning the liberals is their domestic policy. They take glee in poking the smartest kid in class in the eye publicly on FB and Twitter so the rest of the gentlemen's C contractors and roofers and realtors in their daddy's businesses can see. (although persistently consistently pointing out their fallacies of look over there and insisting they stay on point wears them down. I bring local news from FOX and the WSJ as receipts, which they also hate).

The MAGA/Hatriot/fascists are turning on The Never-*trumpers and the Biden Republicans already, and they'll lump them in with Democrats in short order.

Not rivals, but enemies.

They are precisely what they were all up in arms about after 9/11 The Hatriots are indistinguishable from alqueda/isis/jihadi/taliban fundamentalist extremists. Prosecute every last one of them.

Isnt it good to be on the side that likes big government?

10. Democrats don't "like big government"

That’s a right wing talking point. Smiley face or not.

5. Welcome, I like your name, I see what you did there.

[Carthorse]

7. thanks

Got to have fun After all, the pandemic might be done soon, and the crimes of the far right have been posted all over social media, so things will starting to move in our direction, if the liberals don't wimp out. I hope they don't. I hope justice is done.

9. Hi and welcome to DU!

I pray you are right.

I have some hope, but see it through a darkly smoky glass at this point.

11. Republicans have often looked like they were ready to crack but

their authoritarian nature always ends up keeping them together - sort of a voluntary insane asylum.
Whereas we tend to all wander off and do our own thing - we are like a collection of cats.

Been waiting for that predicted breakdown since the Clinton days.

How's that for a cheerful welcome?
