"New York Times" columnist Thomas Friedman said in an interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper on Thursday that if you are not frightened right now, you are not paying attention.
"It's terrifying because the Republican Party has become basically a political brothel, that rents itself out by the night to ever will energize its base," Friedman told Cooper. "Whether it was Sarah Palin or the Tea Party, and now Trump. This is a party that went into its convention with no platform. No platform. Basically said whatever Trump wants, we want."

FRIEDMAN: Backed by a party without spine, amplified by a network without integrity, and by social networks that are marinated in conspiracy theories, behind whom are a lot of armed people. If you aren't frightened by this, you are not paying attention.COOPER: So what happens? So what do you do?
FRIEDMAN: There's only one thing to do. Vote, go out and vote. Vote for Joe Biden, raise money for Joe Biden, canvass for Joe Biden. Register someone -- help someone registered to vote for Joe Biden, and drive someone to the polls to vote for Joe Biden. This is all about power, Anderson. This isn't you're not going to persuade the Republican Party. I had a good laugh tonight when I saw that Lindsey Graham said, don't worry. If we have -- if Joe Biden wins the election, you have nothing to worry about, will abide by that. The same guy, you know, who said if the Supreme Court situation that that the Republicans ran through before repeated again, he wouldn't be for it. There's only one tool we have, but it is a tool that can work, and that is to overwhelmingly vote. ..... I will cast my vote for Joe Biden.

It is always interesting to see a liberal so called “intellectual” come up with a generic, childish argument that can be thrown at a political opponent of any party. Liberals, despite their educational attainments and/or intellectual airs, are political creatures who sacrifice common sense to emotions.
Tom, get help.
No sir you and your ilk are terrifying to a greater number of population than any R that may be elected. You and your friends are sick in the mind for the power you seek to contain and control my life. You people are evil.
Gee, Tom. You’re only seeing half the problem. What about the troops your side have put in the streets, threats to pack the Supreme Court, and the refusal to grant a peaceful transfer of power by the Obama-Biden administration? Engaging in itemizing the failings of the Republicans without reference to the Democrats is a foolish endeavor. And I don’t see how either side will back down.
The Cesspool of Higher
Education!
We know where the
“Foot Soldiers” are.
If it comes down to conflict failure is not an option you do not want to be subjugated by these idiots
Libtards Got Nothing
But to blame The Right
for What THEY are doing.
With Plenty of Useful
Idiots,,,
Bigots
Losers
Media
Little tommy better find himself a safe space.
“...behind whom are a lot of armed people...”
That’s right, Tom. This isn’t one of your fave social democracies where nobody can own guns.
Don’t like ‘em? Come and take ‘em.

Friedman is a Jew who hates Israel, condemns it at every opportunity, then says he does so “out of love”.
The Israelis had a hilarious answer, look up “The Love Song of Tom Friedman” on youtube.
Friedman groupies call it unfair and over the top.
“It’s CHINA,STUPID!”
.
Absolutely Correct,
Thanks for
The Big Picture.
Spot on.
Anything can and will happen in the next three months. It is anyones guess. In the end it is only two choices the Democrat-Progressives have; Rev War II or CW II, Revolution to change the Nation into a Communist workers utopia (for the rich only) or a Red vs Blue state Civil War. Blue states with Army generals and Red China vs. Trump followers and the south (maybe a little help from Russia). The Right has yet to take to the streets—they will be put down violently—mass arrests, camps etc... Then it will devolve into assassinations, bombings, hostage taking, burning newspapers, Media and Mansions. In such a thing happens—only winner will be Red China.
The only thing he needs to fear is potential second civil war if Biden wins.
Rigging is the democrats last nail in their coffin.
Hey Tom, try watching one of the rallies that President Trump holds.
Look at the wonderful, giant, happy crowds.
Just looking at them, and listening to our President talk to us while showing us what a great sense of humor he has, it is very SOOTHING.
OR...have a cup of chamomile tea.
Get a grip on yourself, you pansy. I was very strong during the Obummer years. Of course, there were NO laughs.
,,,and then the purges of
The Useful Idiots!
Hi.
