Americans are sleepwalking into Trump's unfinished coup

The former president's attempted coup is not stopping. He still refuses to concede and continues to rile up supporters with his bogus claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Tens of millions of Americans believe him.

Last Sunday, at a Republican event in Franklin, North Carolina, Congressman Madison Cawthorn, repeating Trump's big lie, called the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6 "political hostages."

Cawthorn also advised the crowd to begin stockpiling ammunition for what he said is likely to be American-versus-American "bloodshed" over unfavorable election results.

"Much as I am willing to defend our liberty at all costs," he said, "there's nothing I would dread doing more than having to pick up arms against a fellow American."

They are itching for civil war. I think they are disgusting and sickening trash.

Hopefully the people on the left if a war is started will kill these fascist fuckers off.

And make it so anyone with a dark triad personality cannot ever run for any public office.and all republicans are purged out of the government and the republican party dies.

How about this for the 2 party system,a left wing party
And a progressive party

No conservative traitors tolerated.
Conservative beliefs get you shamed and marginalized. And the churches are taxed out the ass. And fundie churches shut down because they harbor seditionists

All RawStory does is rip off articles from publications and blogs that actually write them. I wish people would stop citing it as a source. You could have gone directly to Reich's blog and linked from there. Please consider linking to the original source in the future, if you would.

And I think they do sometimes write their own stuff.

But otherwise, yeah, link to original is better.
