Agreed. Republicans have for too long been afraid to stand up and protest Democrats bad behavior and bad policies. Like they used to say Democrats protest and Republicans work. In my opinion the open border needs a million man protest by deputized citizens. Something needs done.
Were the Dems afraid Repubs were becoming the activists on Jan 6 for first time ever?. Ok some went overboard. Did the Dems and others construct a scenario where security forces were kept out and insiders and others used to create false turmoil. The event will be used for years to stifle protest from the right. While BLM and Antifa go scot free.
So maybe a few Repubs in Senate and Congress doing the clothing or some other rebellious thing might be a way to change perception.
There are a lot of other things that they could be standing up for.
Republicans stand up for the trite.
