“The parliamentarian is likely to have a clarifying moment. Marxists will do whatever it takes to bring down America the beautiful.”

Agree, they certainly sent Governor Kemp (in Georgia) a strong message after he started asking questions about The Steal, by taking out his future son-in-law.

I wonder what they’ll do here, but she needs to keep her family safe from those people.

“Attack....... take strong action, fight”

...to a point. There’s plenty we can do short of their tactics (the ones that I mentioned). Starting with calling out the Democrats on their “Voting Rights” bill as Third World Voting, and stuff like that.

You are rationalizing the losing proposition.
