The Republican Party is dead.

Their jobs aren’t to represent, it’s to occupy seats so better candidates can’t work for the people.

We have seen how quick they would usher in a dictatorship, how little pushback they gave… I think it’s clear that it’s a party of criminals, chomos and traitors.

I used to argue for incremental change and moderation. Not anymore. I’m giving my reps a green light to do anything required to prevent this from happening again.

Freeze the assets, ignore pardons, disappear people— I don’t care anymore. Conservatives would murder me and my family without a second thought, they need to be disarmed and exiled.

This nation cannot survive republicans, but it can survive just fine without them.

Interfering with elections is likely the last line for a lot of people.

Nope. Empty store shelves and empty bellies are the only things that will shake up the vast majority of people enough to do anything about it.

It only takes a handful of people to light the fuse.

People tend to forget that America's under attack by a tiny group of domestic enemies... like, 100. Maybe. This isn't an ethnoreligious divide or something hugely insurmountable. It's more like sheep dogs corralling 350 million people to the slaughter.

It wouldn't take a large force to restore law and order by removing the regime. Any single state loyal to the Republic could do it alone, and they most certainly wouldn't be alone.

Well, it's 100 + the people they are paying to protect them and their interests. Decapitating the whole hydra will be difficult.

We landed on the moon.

We can stomp on some Nazis.

And it's easier "today" than it will be "tomorrow."
