"SNIP.......

A new ABC/Ipsos poll finds an overwhelming majority (72%) of Americans believe the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were “threatening democracy,” while 1 in 4 Americans believes that the individuals involved were “protecting democracy.”

Broken down by party identification, Democrats are nearly unanimous (96%) in believing that those involved in the attacks were threatening democracy. Republicans are more split, with 45% saying it was a threat and 52% saying those involved in the riot were “protecting democracy.”

4. Of that 45% republicans who acknowledge that Jan6 was a threat

How many of them would vote D to ensure that democracy endures in the US?

My guess? 0%.

I’m sure those 45% view the likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger with contempt.

Sand, still, part of me can’t believe these are legitimate discussions in the US. Well, we now know how it happened in Germany and how it can happen here.

6. They need ot hang Jan 6th around the Republicans neck.

Trump controls the Republican Party. Any vote for a Republican is a vote for Trump.

7. ANY vote for ANY Republican at ANY level (local/state/fed) is a vote for Trump.

Any Republican officeholder anywhere contributes toward Republican majorities.
