The GOP has morphed from an “evil insect” into a full-blown “terrorist organization,” according to a recent Salon piece that accused Republicans and Trump supporters of seeking a war against American democracy, encouraging widescale violence against the left and minorities, and using “stochastic terrorism” to achieve their aims.
Titled “At last the Republican Party comes clean: It stands for terrorism and Trump, against democracy,” penned by staff writer Chauncey DeVega, the Monday Salon essay begins by labeling the Republican Party an “evil” terror group.
“In the year-plus since the events of Jan. 6, 2021, the Republican Party has morphed, like an evil insect emerging from a chrysalis, into its final form: a terrorist organization,” he writes.

DeVega, a senior politics writer for the left-wing online magazine, criticized the GOP for refusing to “purge” those Republicans who “supported, endorsed and participated in Donald Trump’s coup attempt,” accusing them of “completing the ‘legal’ part of Trump’s coup, even after the illegal part had failed (at least in that moment).”
“Although that coup attempt was not successful, the campaign against American democracy continues and is escalating, largely undeterred,” he added.
He also accused Republicans of pretending “to be legitimate partners in the very system of democratic governance they are working to destroy,” as well as adopting the systems of “authoritarian pseudo-democracies” by allegedly passing laws to hinder Democrats from winning future elections.
“Emulating the systems of authoritarian pseudo-democracies like Russia, Hungary and Turkey, the Republicans want to replace a system of ‘free and fair’ elections (however imperfect those have been in practice) with what experts describe as ‘competitive authoritarianism’ or ‘managed democracy,’” he wrote.

Further DE-HUMANIZING of Republicans. This is a necessary precursor to re-educating, interning, and executing them as necessary. So, no surprise here.
i had no idea that salon was still around ...
Yawn.... Ho hum... Anything new?
Two can play that game, and it is more accurate for conservatives to call leftists and even democrats “terrorists”.
Look at last couple summers and anti-fa and BLM,, they are self described COMMUNISTS, and they terrorize. They are also evil, and enemies to our interests as a country. They are also haters, bigots, and the real racists.
Basically everything they claim Republicans are they are guilty of.
Pure projection.
Salon........ They infiltrated a Freeper Seminar to develop dirt.
The scum bags should be be destroyed
