1. At this point, the main GOP thrust is violence and immorality

[orwell]

2. The GQP...

...wants to command and control the US the same way Putler controls the Russian Federation.

There is a difference.

After they achieve that, then

Cuba = Ukraine.

3. What do you mean "the same thing"?

[tenderfoot]

6. Blow shit up and shoot people fleeing under the guise of battling "liberal fascism"

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. They don't need to -- they're doing plenty of damage legislatively and judicially.

4. Anyone who thinks...

we get out of this without a fight is fucking wrong…for the first time on my life I am thinking about buying a gun.

[Biophilic]

5. I don't think the GOP wants to do the samething to this country as Putin is doing to Ukraine.

They don't want to destroy the money making parts. They want us peasants out here making them money. They just want to do the same thing to the US that Putin is doing to Russia: Total control of the populace via a police state and messaging.

8. If these gun humpers/GOP idiost think a civil war is the only way to settle this, Look at Ukraine

Pain, suffering, carnage is what they will get.....on both sides.. I pray it will NOT happen and we can see what the result will be if they get their way..
You can't hit "reset" when you are dead...

9. Without a doubt. Once you have voter suppression, denigration of the others, a fascist state is next

[Yorkie Mom]

10. I voted no because I have friends and family members who are Republicans that I know do not

want this. Nobody I know does.

[uponit7771]

13. Republican pols want this though and as the Russians are going to find out fast their support

... of these pols will be their downfall too

[Yorkie Mom]

15. Which politicians have said they want this?

I'm not trying to be ugly, but this original question is divisive, and this country is divided enough.

[uponit7771]

18. The GQP pols that continue to compliment and parrot Putrids efforts in deed.

[TheRealNorth]

20. Trump wanted to send the army into the cities in 2020

Many Republicans supported that. Same as Putin's plan - Putin hoped a show of force would intimidate the Ukrainians from resisting.

[EarlG]

11. I think they wish they could do to America what Putin is doing to Russia

24/7 propaganda, ban independent media, cut off the internet from the rest of the world, stop people from entering or leaving the country, stifle dissent, put protesters in the gulag, make it illegal to be gay, invade neighboring countries just to grab their land…

[uponit7771]

12. K&R, ***LOOK AT TEXAS !!!***

[gab13by13]

14. Don't need a poll,

I thought you were asking a rhetorical question?

Liz Cheney calls them the Putin branch of the Republican party, which IMO is pretty much all of them.

The only way for them to retain minority rule is to abolish democracy.

[drray23]

16. Obviously not

They want to take over the political apparatus in order to impose their laws (no abortion, no affirmative action, etc...). They don't want to blow up the country, they want to imprison democrats instead.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. All I can say is that putin and Russia's acts of invading Ukraine, has churned the world up and

demonstrates just how fragile and expensive Democracies can be.

Also, it's shut the GOP up. It has shock up the GOP and perhaps got their 'all-things Russia' mentality that the GOP has seemed to have since the arrival of tRump on the scene.

Now, it's amazing, the GOP, now that they've seen putin and Russia in action, invading a former part of the Russia federation, can't seem to back away from their former stance on Russia and they've been caught out in the rain, w/ their pants down. Even tRump is running backwards too. He looks awful funny and stupid in doing so, especially since his former remarks on putin being a great leader are engraved in stone.

Maybe, just maybe voters will remember the GOP and their ignorant, un-American support of Russia and putin. I hope so, for now that the bandages have been ripped off and all of us can see for ourselves what putin and his Russia are doing to Ukraine, reality has set in and it isn't pretty for the GOP and tRump.

21. So at their little truck rally today

someone was driving around with a sign that read "All Democrats are pedophiles.. No Exceptions"

So yeah, some of them really want to kill us.
