If we're going to save the republic, and that's the stakes that were playing for at this point in history, we will have to politically discredit the insanity there's no room for moderation on this point. If we can't beat outright insanity we're not going to save the Constitution from Insanity with half-assed measures

It used to be: pro God, pro life, pro gun, not anymore, now its
1) Pro Trump
2 Pro stolen election.
