    The Radical Right Republicans and Democracy

    In the Radical Right Republican mind, it is a crime to give aid to voters in LONG lines which were created by the Radical Right Republicans. That is, in the Radical Right Republican mind, people, who give food and water to voters waiting in these LONG lines, are criminals.

    In the Radical Right Republican mind, people, who bashed in the heads of Capitol police, and who intended to murder members of Congress and the Vice President, are NOT criminals. In the Radical Right Republican mind, these people were patriots and tourists.

    Both of these cases CLEARLY show the EXTREME and PATHOLOGICAL hatred that the Radical Right Republicans have for our democracy.

    In the first case, the Radical Right Republicans are trying to discourage millions of Americans from exercising their Constitutional right to participate in our democracy, by promoting policies that result in unnecessarily long voting lines, and by criminalizing actions to aid voters who are suffering in those long lines because they are in need of food and water. The Radical Right Republicans like to call these policies (which are OBVIOUSLY “voter suppression” policies) “voter integrity” policies. (That is, they are “putting lipstick on a pig”.)

    In the second case, the head bashers and murderer-wannabes were trying to steal the election that Biden legally and rightfully won, in order to install Trump as our dictator-in-chief, and thus destroy our democracy.

    The Radical Right Republicans are constantly trying to brainwash us into believing that the Democrats are actually “Radical Left Democrats” who are trying to impose socialism on us, which will eliminate many of our freedoms. Please note:

    1: What the Radical Right Republicans call “socialism” is the Democratic policy to have the wealthy chip in to help average Americans. (The Radical Right Republicans ARE ok with having average Americans chip in to help the wealthy.)

    2: The Radical Right Republicans want to instill a fear of “socialism” in the American people, in order to divert their attention from what they should ACTUALLY fear. That is, the loss of our democracy, where our democracy is replaced with one-party rule lead by an autocrat.

    3: Unlike what the Radical Right Republicans call “socialism”, losing our democracy will ACTUALLY eliminate many of our freedoms. In fact, it may eliminate ALL of our freedoms!

    Once again, I am reminded of the book entitled “Everything Trump Touches Dies” which was written by a Republican strategist. Under the leadership of Trump, and with the aid of the mini-Trumps (e.g., Ron DeSantis), the Trump chumps, the Trump mobs, the radical right media (e.g., Fox News), the Banana Republicans, the RepublicaNazis, Moscow Mitch, and the Radical Right Republicans, our democracy is NOW in the process of dying.

    For all of us who love democracy, we should be afraid.
    Let’s hope our democracy can be saved.

    I love the strawman you built. Good job.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Actually, the law related to that strawman of yours held it illegal for political persons or organizations to give out food and water for purposes of soliciting votes or signatures to petitions.

    I would say that the author of the OP is merely a troll.

    And not an especially talented one, at that...

    Probably. The very notion of "Radical Right Republican" is silly when the right and Republicans are reactionary and not radical revolutionaries like the left. And how are we to preserve democracy when by Constitution we are a republic?

    Tyranny, by any other name is a long read of how tyranny "disguises itself with pleasing and pleasant words," and "the political misuse of words."

    Why? Republicans do not wait in the same lines? They do not need the same IDs? How do I get these special privilages that you talk about? Since Conservatives are more likely to be working than Democrats then how is the burden not greater on the Republicans?

    Your argument is a total failure based on the propaganda you have been fed.
    You need new sources if you do not want to sound ridiculous again.
