“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”
“When you catch somebody in a fraud, you are allowed to go by very different rules."
“We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
"
Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you. We are going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

***********************************Donald J. Trump, Jan. 6, 2021
147 Republicans voted to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results.
Following the Republican attempt to overthrow the elected government, the party is continuing its assault on American democracy and our Constitution.
Our Constitution states clearly that the federal government is supreme over state governments. It is called the Supremacy Clause, and it means, among other things, that states cannot pass laws that violate federal law.
Article VI, paragraph 2 clearly states, "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby.
Roe v. Wade is the law of the land according to the Supreme Court. The court ruled (7–2) in 1973 that
unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional.
Republicans in Oklahoma violated the Constitution.
ABC reports, "The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
"With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he'd sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk."
Obviously, we have the Religious Right involved in all of this. So, now, in addition to the problems created by Trump and his allies in Congress, we have religious extremists from the rural counties of Oklahoma attempting to re-write our Constitution.
Once again the Republican Party challenges American democracy. Oddly enough, the GOP is expected to gain control of Congress in the November mid-terms. Go figure. Does our country have a problem here?
How do Republicans on this forum handle all this and countless other issues seen here?
They don't. They simply ignore the many issues that plague the Republican Party.
