A platform of lies, extremism, cowardice, can never survive long term.

This has been the Republican platform since Trump became president. It can work short term, but it cannot survive long term. We are witnessing something historic. A politically party that lost their fucking minds in their quest for power.

We are witnessing the Republican platform coming apart at the seams. The entire party is being exposed for what they have become. Liars, extremists, cowards. We are at the early stages of a party being held accountable for what they have become.

The Jan. 6th committees open hearings are going to be brutal. We will see, hear, more tapes, texts, that will expose many people to legal jeopardy. Many Republicans will be destroyed politically.

Garland will face great pressure to hold people accountable, I believe he will. The American people watched the crimes being committed. They saw it with their own eyes. They will demand action. They will demand people be held accountable.

Hell is coming for the Republican party.

If I am wrong and a platform of lies, extremism, cowardice, is accepted by the people, if the people continue to vote for this platform. You can kiss our democracy goodbye.

1. Let's throw corruption in there, too.

We gotta get a handle on the corruption, lest we end up like Russia…robbed, beaten down, and broken at every level.

I do believe Garland is the man for the job.

3. Yes.

4. They've been like this for 50 years.

And they're projected to make massive gains in Congress this year.

Don't underestimate how stupid Americans are.

5. They have not been like this for fifty years.

The past five years, ten years has been something hard to explain.

7. Nah. They've been plotting and laying the groundwork for this

in effect for the last half century. Hell, longer. It started with McCarthyism, but they hadn’t primed their idiot tools long enough back then for the effort to achieve its intended effect. It’s been orchestrated for decades and has just now reached a crescendo.

9. This started with Nixon. Fox was created

to make sure they could brainwash voters enough to prevent another Republican from ever being forced to resign.

Then Reagan made the whole thing much worse.

6. True, all that. But...

Expect that by the time the Jan. 6 hearings finally get underway, the vast, dark-money Republican Propaganda Media Machine (and their darkside murderous Russian Black-op Komrades) will be ready to pump the airwaves full of evil lies.

That is who they are. That is what they do.

8. The Republican party exists to protect and grow the wealth and power of the top 1%

They will make a deal with Satan to make this happen. This is why the Democratic party needs a broad based, multi group coalition of ALL Americans to defeat them. We cannot be just the party of coastal urban centers and their suburbs. We need to be the party of everyone.

10. True - the Nazis and Soviets did not last in the long run either

but still managed to pile up quite a long list to victims before their demise.

11. I'm sorry, but where have you been the last decade?

Is not Roe v Wade on the chopping block? Do we have universal healthcare? Voting rights amendment?

I live in Texas, and the Republicans tactics show no means of slowing down or falling apart. I feel that your post is way out of touch.

Our democracy has a few more months and if we don’t win in the midterms, it is gone for good.
