3. Calling out the GOP for what they are . . .
Wed May 26, 2021, 11:22 AM
May 2021

is way overdue. The 'bothsiderism' schtick is a failing template in today's reality. Republicans are a decidedly anti-democratic, unAmerican organization that supports and stokes white nationalism, Confederate ideology and flat-out racial hatred.

You don't need to squint at all to see those white hoods. Just listen to their words and start cataloguing their actions.

They ripped off the 'loyal opposition' tag long ago.

As for Marjorie Taylor Greene? She is the poster girl for today's Republican Party.
