Several “national security experts” interviewed for an essay in The Root published on Thursday, attacked the Republican Party, claiming it behaves “like a terror group,” is rife with “terrorist sympathizers,” and should be viewed as “enemy combatants.”
The essay, penned by senior reporter Terrell Jermaine Starr and titled “Democrats Are Stuck With a Republican Party Rife With Conspiracy Theorists, Anarchists and Terrorist Sympathizers,” begins by asserting that the GOP is “authoritarian” and only cares for whites.
“[W]e have an entire political party that has converted into an authoritarian—albeit Americanized version—style of politics that cares nothing about U.S. democracy or anyone who is not white,” the essay starts.
Starr then refers to the GOP as “a party of turncoats” for having “basically sat by and said nothing” to counter “lies” reinforced by the former president’s defense lawyers during his impeachment trial last week.
Starr then introduces several national security experts who, he claims, told him “the Republican Party is functioning like a terror cell.”

You definitely don't know history or politics.
You need to put you crack pipe down and shut your hole.

The South was pro Constitution and pro states rights in the 19th century. You have been feed progressive pablum and swallowed it.

True, except for the little problem of enslaving people. More than a slight discontinuity with the "all men are created equal" vision of the Constitution.

I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.

A major portion of that view point (Dred Scott case) was held on the basis that black people are not human.
This is the same type of anti-science approach that Democrats now use to justify biological men competing in women's sports.

Whatever. 19th century whites thought blacks were sub human, child-like and needing supervision. You are projecting backwards. It is what libtards do.

There isn't anything terribly progressive about embracing the founder's vision in the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence.
Being able to juggle those ideas vs what is more explicitly written in the Constitution requires actual thought.
Lazy people say "whatever", just like the leaders of the old Confederacy who were too dumb to figure out a better way to harvest their cotton.
