Pitts: The Republican Party is a clear and present danger They deserve the blame for destroying any sense of common American narrative
San Jose Mercury ^ | April 17, 2022 | LEONARD PITTS JR.

Here’s what we’re not going to do here.

We are not going to indulge the lazy rationalizations, false equivalence, cheap gaslighting and other forms of rhetorical chicanery that have become so common to political discourse in this era. Our country is in crisis, and we owe it better.

And what America needs to face is the simple, chilling fact that the Republican Party is a clear and present danger.

Confronting that does not make you a partisan.

It makes you a patriot.


So as a Republican I am a clear and present danger?

They’re projecting.

Only one party supported tearing down statues of American historical figures.

Only one party supported attacks on United States federal buildings.

Only one party supported attacks on municipal police stations.

That party is the DNC - who has aligned themselves with AntiFa and BLM and now blame anyone who isn’t with them “unAmerican”
We let this continue at our own peril and the destruction of the Republic.

It is why the dems in history are known as the party of slaves, rum, and rebellion

It was the rich dem elites that actually took this country to war with itself

This traitor's article VALIDATES what I have been posting this evening:

The Democrats, with help from foreign entities, corrupted electronic voting machines, extra invalid ballots, corrupt social media outlets, Federal Agencies who depend primarily on that party for funding, crooked Republicans who will not enforce the law, a failed Department of Justice for not investigating what happened (Federal Agency) and other chicanery stole the last Presidential election. There is so much evidence that it happened I am not going to re-hash it.

What is NOW important is that we are in an extremely dangerous political situation requiring fight, or flight. The reason for this conclusion is that when a large group of people perpetrate such a crime (of treason), the penalty for that IS long-term imprisonment and/or death (for the ringleaders) and they know it. They are NOT going to concede to EVER to having stolen the election even if the FBI would investigate such and bring charges BECAUSE they will face the aforementioned consequences.

They will fight. And, they have to continue with the criminal overthrow and subjugate EVERYONE who disagrees, either forcibly changing their minds or killing them to avoid the punishment they deserve in this life. That leaves the opposition with only two (maybe three) choices. One can fight, one can leave the country, or, one can submit and just obey them since they are now in charge. It is NOT looking good at all.

Oh, and furthermore, his comment, "...the sacking of the U.S. Capitol an innocent visit by tourists really nails it. Apparently he doesn't know what a real "sacking" is. He needs to BACK to the history books and see what a city/place looks like after it's been sacked. It is nearly unusable. This phrase alone invalidates his entire article.

In my 15 years living in the Bay Area, I never heard once the Merc saying anything good about a Republican.
This is ground zero where the left learned that by controlling the message, they could control voters.

I have nothing in common with the scum of the DNC.

It’s bad enough that they are against everything this country was founded to be, but when push comes to shove they are friends with the world in the bad way and many overtly display the fruit of people turned over to depraved minds.

LOL!

'demonizing dissent, shredding norms and boundaries' has been the stock-in-trade of the left and the democrats for decades, now.

And which party is currently driving the country toward the 'jagged rocks'?

Trump didn't give us runaway inflation on everything, make us energy-poor, or encourage foreign governments to invade their neighbors.

I don't think I want any part of this guy's 'national narrative', whatever it is.
