Anyone who has been paying attention to what has been going on in places like Venezuela would find similarities in the behaviour of republicans and the Chavista movement, they are imitating most of what was done in that and other countries with similar results.

Democrats do need to take measure to curtail what is happening in the USA, this is real, anyone who thinks "It Can't Happen Here" is very wrong because IT CAN! And as I said before, Brianna is correct, we cannot expect republicans to do anything, they are the ones creating the chaos, it is all on Democrats to fight back, and fight hard by passing laws that will stop republicans in their tracks.

I will give just one characteristic of the Chavistas, see the similarities with republicans:

Chavistas:
do not plan, they plot,
they don't negotiate, they extort,
they don't invest in the country, they rob,
they don't govern, they divide,
they are not transparent, they lie

And I could go one, so tell me, what in that list does not apply to republicans?
