This is now the time for the GOP to remove all the fascists from our government, including trump

And take back control of their party, and to distance themselves from these domestic terrorist , and extremists trump has welcomed into their party. Also it prevents trump being able to run again for any federal office. If they don't the cancer will continue to spread, and take them much longer to recover. The fascists need to be removed, all of them.

The extremists are no longer the minority. They're the party.

And although conservative, he's considered part of the "establishment."


Mike Lee tweets that ‘rank democracy’ threatens liberty and prosperity

Lee Davidson 10/8/2020

Some people upset with what they saw during Wednesday’s vice presidential debate may have yelled at their TV or turned it off. Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee took a different approach, launching a Twitter storm that attacked — of all things — democracy.

One tweet that especially created a firestorm on social media was: “Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prosperity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”

So, “rank democracy” can thwart liberty, peace and prosperity?

When Lee’s spokesperson, Conn Carroll, was asked if Lee could explain his thinking, Carroll simply pointed to a quote from James Madison in Federalist Papers No. 10, one in a collection of essays written to promote ratification of the U.S. Constitution.

Pro-fascists are eager to overthrow constitutional government and install a dictatorship. These people are the embodiment of the Trump Party. They are claiming that the enemies of the state are anti-fascists, or "antifa." So the pro-fascists do not recognize anti-fascists as patriots. The definitions are upside-down. Pro-fascists apparently believe that being a fascist is the same as being patriotic.

What a superb propaganda job the Russians and the fascists have done! They completely bamboozled the Trumpers into believing that fascism is patriotic! It's just the opposite, in reality.

The ONLY WAY to rectify this situation is to aggressively re-define fascism as the enemy of the Constitution, and to aggressively prosecute fascists (Trumper activists), including the GOP political leadership. Convict them and imprison them. Be done with them.

They supported this almost 100% ahead of time and are now just faking concern and will do absolutely zero. Watch.
