The recent revelation that the NC legislator has in essence authorized their law enforcement to build a surveillance list of Moral Monday participants should tell you what the GOP is all about. When you deliberately target people exercising their right to protest and label them anarchists alarms bells should go off. What is most bothersome is that some law enforcement in other parts of the country have charged protesters with felonies for protesting.
The GOP is perfectly comfortable with labeling any dissent as terrorist. How can we have a viable nation under such conditions? Grayson was recently silenced when he compared Congress to dog poop. The GOP says much worse and even continues to incite more hatred and racist routinely with no retort. In fact the media even protects them.
So how is what the GOP is doing any different than they early years of the Nazi regime. No they are not doing all the horrendous things the Nazis did nor are they likely do, but they certainly seem to be using the same tactics the brownshirts in the early 1930's used that led to the Third Reich.
When you attack the sick, the vulnerable, the disabled, certain minorities, gays, etc and when you have certain religions doing the same thing it is a dangerous path. When you start attacking programs that protect those people and silencing protest it is also a dangerous path. And when you have a media that is willing to protect you and spread your propaganda that is a dangerous path.
The shut down is a metaphorical way of burning down the government. It is just as effective at ending the Republic as if there were real heat and fire. Were the public not so complacent and jaded the GOP would be on the run already. Instead they are doubling down and show no signs until Obama becomes their virtual slave begging for their approval.
The shut down is all about race and we need to take the fight to them even if personal. Otherwise they win. The question is do we want to become like NORTH CAROLINA. The GOP wants to make the US their North Caroline. The "Silence Of The Majority" is deafening/

Anytime you think North Carolina is a cesspool ...you can just count on South Carolina to try and outdo them..
I have been saying for a long long time...if you want to see what ultimate Republican Rule looks like...see South Carolina. Conditions in most of the state is horrid...Remember this is the state that has schools running built in the 1860's! With no air conditioning and desks built in the 1950's...some schools with literal sewage leaking down stair wells.

I'd post a link, but I don't think you're interested in knowledge of any kind.
