Are Republicans our mortal enemy?

...trump today...

" Trump spoke for about 10 minutes, making characteristically false claims about the election and the prevalence of fraud, from illegally cast ballots to obstruction of Republican poll watchers.

"It would be easy for me to say, 'Oh, let's worry about four years from now,'" Trump said. "No, this election was lost by the Democrats. They cheated. It was a fraudulent election. They flooded the market. They defrauded everybody with ballots." "

If he can show how Dems cheated, or "flooded the market" (whatever that means), then do it. I'm all ears.

Trump is Democracy's mortal enemy.

Yes, they are.

Maybe that will change in the future, but right now? They are our mortal enemy.

We would do well to recognize them by their characteristics and not what they label themselves as. There is no room for that behavior that is now the Republican party. Personally, I don't care who someone says they are.

Listen to them. They couch all things political, in terms of "war" and "the enemy".
They use misinformation to justify that they hate anybody even slightly different
than themselves. They've denounced, science, truth, reason, and most recently, reality.
They seem to live to see people that they dislike punished. Women, immigrants, POC, liberals.
Maybe they're not exactly enemies any more than a rabid dog would be an enemy, but they are dangerous.
If for no other reason than their hatred makes them irrational.

what we think, unless we want to survive as a barrier or counterbalance to authoritarianism. It’s pretty straightforward when you look at it in the aggregate.

but now that you've brought it to my attention, I am. There's not a doubt in my mind that most of them would happily enslave us in a feudal system, if they could find a way to pull it off.

You don't fight to defeat a mortal enemy. You fight to kill it.

...referring to Democrats...

" (APPLAUSE)

President Donald Trump:

And I just want to thank everybody for being there.

You're doing a tremendous service. This is a very important moment in the history of our country. They are bad people. They're horrible people. And they are people that don't love our country. "


...we need to consider and never forget what we're up against now and into the future...if we don't defeat these people and call them out for what they are, the next 'trump' will be much much worse...

...we will lose our democracy and freedom if we keep flirting with fascism...

..."BAD PEOPLE.. HORRIBLE PEOPLE..PEOPLE THAT DON"T LOVE OUR COUNTRY" sounds like a mortal enemy to me...

If we hadn’t voted he would have won. Take away CA he would have won. More tests more covid.

I still can’t believe this ignorant, immoral, grotesque human managed to become President of the US.

They took over the republican party and turned them into a menace. They elected a president who does not live in reality. It's hard to live in a world where half the people believe that the other half eats babies and is out to get them.
