Do You Actually Believe Republicans Are A Threat To Democracy?

[mudwhistle]

Even if all that were true. I would still
Not be threat to Democracy you old fool.

 

[hjmick]

True Republicans? No, I do not.

[Devils_Advocate]

Do you believe that the GOP is really a threat to democracy?

No, but I do not want Trump and his style of politics running this country.

 

[schmidlap]

Do you believe that the GOP is really a threat to democracy?

Conservative Republicans of integrity acknowledge that the Trump blight is a threat to the GOP and to democracy.

Bill Barr says Trump will 'burn the whole house down' and destroy the GOP if he doesn't win the 2024 nomination

Former defense secretary Mark Esper says Donald Trump is ‘unfit for office’

He 'Put Himself Before Everybody Else': Chris Christie Calls On GOP To Dump Trump

Paul Ryan says the GOP will lose if Trump is the 2024 GOP presidential nominee:
'We stick with Trump, we keep losing elections'
​

Cultist devotion is not impacted by the candid comments of those with intimate familiarity with the Loser, nor the sworn, corroborative testimony of dozens of Republican officeholders and Trump regime insiders.

Weird worshipers are impervious to reason.

My guess falls in line with what I'm perceiving across the board, with pretty much everything they do in their condition:

I believe that the street-level Trumpsters truly believe that they're trying to save democracy from evil. No, that doesn't really make sense, but that doesn't matter. So anything that they need to do or say is within that context.

They're not the problem. Trump himself is not the problem. The problem is the "media" types and craven politicians who are enabling/advancing this madness for their own personal professional gain. They could put the brakes on all of this tomorrow. They could just say NO MORE. This could be DEAD in a WEEK.

The people you see here? I think most of them (admittedly, some of them just want to see the world burn) are being perfectly honest and sincere, within their ideological/informational universe. They really do think they're saving America from evil, and that their leader -- this impudent, hypersensitive, juvenile, buffoonish, metrosexual New York City con man -- has been sent to them by God to help them achieve that goal.

I don't know how to oppose that.

The biggest threat to Democracy is the Democrat Party and their control of the media.

This looks like a threat

Of course, it was a threat. So was Kathy Griffin, stupid stunt with that severed head. So was May 29. So was CHAZ. They are all threats of one kind or another by people dissatisfied with something in society to the point they're willing to make them.

Here's the bottom line. We have arrived at the point in our society's trajectory that civil discourse is gone, confidence in and respect for the ballot are gone, tolerance for opposing political views is gone, and the next steps are going to be increasingly violent. And no, you cannot claim piety for the democrats, they are just as involved, just as complicit. They turned a blind eye to an entire summer of riots in which people were harmed and killed, property was destroyed, and politicians looked foolish. They are on record encouraging public confrontation with political opponents. They have been trying to silence and eliminate opposition from society and have total meltdowns when society pushes back. They spent years either denying that TRUMP! won in '16 or vowing that he was not their president and they were going to resist every single thing he wanted to accomplish. Heck, they were even talking about impeaching him before he even took office, they were so deranged.

You're going to see more violence, and you will, of course, moan and complain about those awful Republicans but will never acknowledge that they've only recently woken up and realized that they were in a war with an opponent not interested in working together, but only in annihilation of the opposition.

Trumpery is grievance-driven and finds its expression in paranoia. The demonic "other" is to blame for thwarting the imaginary golden age of trumpery and the societal reestablishment of now-diluted white male dominion.

The irrefutable bungling, whether in stated commitments meritorious or otherwise - insuring that everyone is covered by heath insurance at less lost, building a big beautiful wall and making Mexico pay for it, rebuilding America's crumbling infrastructure, etc., etc., etc. were merely confirmations of the vast, nefarious conspiracy against him and his highly-touted noble goals.

Over seven million more Americans having voted to dump him at their first opportunity means that the democratic process itself must be mindlessly savaged.

When Trump bleats his victimhood, whether at his grievance jamborees or elsewhere, the accruing evidence of failure is cast as persecution. Our dispassionate system of jurisprudence is viewed as evil forces being mean to him.

Reason is to no avail. Trumpery will be flushed from the body politic in the fullness of time.

Progress may stumble, but it is ineluctable.

No, Kathy griffin was not a threat

She was not in the middle of a mob attacking the White House while Trump was in hiding

She was not trying to prevent Trump from doing his job

 

[schmidlap]

The biggest threat to Democracy is the Democrat Party and their control of the media.

Hyper-partisan, ever-metastasizing, paranoia certainly says so.

That fantasy now demands that The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, Fox News, the National Review, the Washington Inquirer, George Will, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, etc., etc., etc. must be all be demonic "libs!" for abandoning trumpery.

[hadit]

Yet when Giffords was shot, they tried to make Sarah Palin's web page out to be a threat because it had crosshairs on it (even though the shooter never saw the page). See, the point is, violent imagery and rhetoric has been around since the nation was founded, and you're not going to make a convincing case that only now is it out there and only Republicans are doing it. It's escalating, and there will be more blood.

It's amusing when the Trump bum kissers desperately try to contrive equivalencies to justify their goon attack on outnumbered police defending democracy.

McCarthy must appoint a retaliatory, long-running investigate committee with subpoena power to expose the threat to national security by a comedian.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Nope and thats because the cross burning was a symbol of celebration. Most of the rituals of the KKK came from Scotland.

Wait did you just say when the Klan burned crosses on people's lawns they were "celebrating?"

George Will and Ann Coulter are NeverTrumpers.
Laura Ingraham has a show on Faux Noise which still hasn't admitted that election fraud is going on and refused to call the majority in the House in the GOP's favor until everyone else did.

Just like Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the Dem scum tried to blame Republicans for a Wokish Homosexual who shot up a LGBTG bar in Colorado Springs.

Yes. By law. This shit actually went to the courts.
You can think other wise, if you want, I dont give 2 shits. People like you often delve into your own "reality." Its normalized.

Burning on cross on someone else's property in front of their house is a celebration? Bless your heart!

People who oppose the DNC and collectivist traitors are not a threat to anyone. If we were, bed wetters would not be so fuckin annoying, let alone destructive, aggressive and violent. The only real threat to anything remotely "democratic" are these fascist lunatics with green Kool Aid in their hair, trying to silence everyone else.

The democrook party itself is currently far more of a threat to our Republic and civilization in general, than Islamic jihad, Russia, China, North Korea, Cthulhu, a meteor, coronal mass ejections, a (real) epidemic, or even a zombie apocalypse.
