It’s not your grandfather’s Republican Party now, unless your grandfather was a fascist. The GOP is dangerous, and we must take action to make sure our children live in a free country.
… Few Republicans nowadays have that much patriotism. In fact, the party has become a corrupt force spouting violent rhetoric and plotting to overthrow our democracy. It’s not your grandfather’s Republican Party now, unless your grandfather was a fascist.
I’m not asking you to become a Democrat. I’m asking you to become an anti-Republican. Here are six reasons why it’s time to get serious about the GOP threat:
1. “Majority rules” is a myth.
A recent poll showed only 26% of Americans consider themselves Republicans. Obviously, more Americans lean that way, but the GOP hasn’t won a plurality in a national election since 2004.
2. The deck is stacked for Republicans.
The American system is great in many ways. But the Senate’s makeup and the existence of the Electoral College promote inequality.
3. On top of their built-in edge, Republicans are willing to cheat.
They tried to overturn the last presidential election based on zero evidence of significant fraud.
4. Criminals often get away with it.
Don’t count on the courts to stop Republican criminals.
5. People are manipulated by fear.
Republicans follow the fascist playbook: manufacture enemies.
6. The time to make a difference is running out.
If the Republicans win the House next November, they will be in a position to block the true results of the 2024 election and certify rival groups of presidential electors in key states. This is just one of the ways they could steal the election.

Oh??
Your fashion designs suck, Jacobs.
Isn’t he the one who’s married to Sulu?
Opinion: Oy, hesh, you schnorrer, get a job.
Republicans are invaders from Mars, then? Republicans are a threat to “our” democracy because they don’t agree with us about what should be done, so therefore they are not Americans. Americans must get series about their threat to Our demoncrazy. They refuse to take “SHUT UP!” as an explanation! How dare you, you fascists you. Take that!, Andrew Ngo, MAGA Shaman, Kyle Rittenhouse, Donald Trump, concerned parents.
This article has made the best of all possible cases for the threat that leftards pose towards democracy and progress.

2. The deck is stacked for Republicans.
The American system is great in many ways. But the Senate’s makeup and the existence of the Electoral College promote inequality.
The Constitution is now the problem? Has this yoyo ever read the Federalist Papers?
3. On top of their built-in edge, Republicans are willing to cheat.
They tried to overturn the last presidential election based on zero evidence of significant fraud.
Just a lot of sworn testimony, a forensic audit, statistical anomalies that are impossible to explain without concluding that there was significant fraud. The last election was overturned. Trump really did win.
4. Criminals often get away with it.
Don’t count on the courts to stop Republican criminals.
The only way is by having show trials with pre-drawn conclusions. Mostly peaceful demonstrators are being persecuted just for throwing firebombs and frozen water bottles at police. Oh, neve mind.
5. People are manipulated by fear.
Republicans follow the fascist playbook: manufacture enemies.
Hoo boy!
6. The time to make a difference is running out.
HOOOO BOY!
1. “Majority rules” is a myth.
A recent poll showed only 26% of Americans consider themselves Republicans. Obviously, more Americans lean that way, but the GOP hasn’t won a plurality in a national election since 2004.
Read Federalist Papers AND the constitution, you twit! Read Ben Franklin! Two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for lunch is an example of majority rule. Lynch mobs are an example of majority rule. Ancient Athens was an example of majority rule. Majority rule is not even democracy, let alone the republican form of government.
The Dems idea of “democracy” is “Give us Barabbas!”.
One party rule has worked spectacularly well in places like the Republic of Cuba, the People’s Republic of China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Why wouldn’t it work just as well in the United Socialist States of Amerika?
True, but the fashion designer is a different Marc Jacobs.
