The Coming Outlawing Of The Republican Party
The Coming Outlawing of the Republican Party
Daniel Greenfield's original articles and reporting delve into terrorism, politics and world affairs
Republicans want to hold the majority and co-exist with Democrats, while Democrats, under the influence of the Left, want to eliminate Republicans.
This fundamental difference between the two sides was on display during Biden’s fascist rant in Philadelphia where he denounced half the country as a threat to democracy.
And it would be a mistake to imagine that all the talk of a “threat to democracy” is mere rhetoric.
~Snip~
Biden’s speech was the tip of a much more dangerous iceberg.
After Biden took over, Democrat activist groups began a push to disqualify Republicans who had participated in the Jan 6 protests from elected office based on the 14th Amendment. Adopted after the Civil War, it’s mostly notable for abolishing slavery. But Section 3 also banned anyone from holding elected office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” Aimed at Confederates, most would have considered this a dead letter, but the Left excels at digging up obscure legal fossils and making use of them.
The insurrection lawsuits have targeted members of congress, Senator Ron Johnson and local officials. But by defining anyone who questioned the 2020 presidential election results as an “insurrectionist” or having provided “aid and comfort”, the scope could be vastly larger.

This particular bid to outlaw the Republican Party may go nowhere, but if so it won’t be because of Republican opposition. It will be because leftist groups decide to prioritize their resources on more immediate programs rather than launching a dramatic moonshot. But it remains part of the agenda. And Biden’s speech shows that the agenda is being entertained by the White House.
The midterm and the next presidential election are being defined not in terms of policies and issues, but as a response, in Biden’s words, to a “threat to this country” posed by a “Republican Party” that is “dominated” by “MAGA Republicans”. That’s rhetoric, but among Democrats, unlike Republicans, rhetoric is a political program, not just fundraising text messages.

How was it possible to seriously accuse mild-mannered men like Eisenhower or George W. Bush of being fascist dictators in complete contrast to their unambitious domestic programs?
The Left wasn’t making bad faith arguments. Talk to a leftist and you will see that leftists genuinely believed that Republicans were prepared to use national emergencies to wipe them out of existence. Why did they believe that? Because it’s what they would do in their place.
Now they’re actually doing it.
Commentary:
The Maoist/DSA Democrat Commies are following the same script as did Chavez in Venezuela.
Problem is that we are better armed. Howver, MDC's are working hard to remove these guns from the population.
It seems that many of us have forgotten what Congressman Tim Ryan openly stated out loud. He said, "We have to kill and confront MAGA”. If that’s not a call to violence, I don’t know what is. Yet, we have heard almost nothing about that.
I'm rather glad that I'm old and approaching my expiration date. I remember the clarity of the 1950s; the world was dressed in green and gold, and cloaked in azure skies. I never in all these years thought I would see this in our great nation that is now hobbled and assaulted from both within and outside.
All for what? Power? To wield power sadistically over broadly-defined 'enemies'? No thanks to the Republicans here; they've continued to cede both control of language and power to the Democrats. They're happier being the party that's out of power...it makes for much better fundraising. I don't even hear them talk a good game any more. And as for an 'insurrection'? Bah. But we long ago ceded the power to define to them. We should have known that Pelosi and her peers would resurrect Lavrentiy Beria. So here we are...if you're a registered Republican, even a thousand miles removed from DC, you're now an insurrectionist by Biden's definition. So I'm tired of fighting. We have only one pawn guarding our king. The Dems haven't lost a piece yet. The current crop of Republicans in office make me sick.
