Actually it's that no Republican politician dare go against Trump, because they will be primaried.

Someone asked us why we criticize the GOP much more than the Democrats.

It's simple: While we disagree with Democrats on certain policies, (especially the "Squad"), they're not a threat to our democracy.

Today's GOP headed by Trump poses an existential threat to our republic.

“Don’t worry about the guy who led the failed putsch, inflation is the real issue!” is a special kind of historical ignorance.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin

trump
was potus for 4 years, for half that time his party controlled congress. in what ways did he destroy our democracy? did he unilaterally change the constitution?

I see Bidens press secretary saying that Biden encourages people to protest ( intimidate) outside the homes of supreme court judges who don’t rule the way Biden wants. That’s not a threat to our democracy.

Trumps not on the ballot in 2022, so inflation, especially this inflation, is a legitimate concern. You’re about to find out how much of a concern it is, and who Americans blame for it.

But you’ve got January 6, and the voting block of people
who want to take their young kids to drag queen shows. You’ll do great.

Instead of insulting me and using emojis like a middle school girl, can you list a few ways in which Trump succeeded in destroying our democracy? Not far-fetched stuff that never amounted to anything, but things that actually destroyed our democracy?
