Why should we accept a Republican-majority Congress, McCarthy as majority leader, or Greene as

potential Speaker of the House?

They spent this whole time since the 2020 election attacking the election process themselves and deciding who can even vote for them. Since they don't have faith and trust in the system, why should faith and trust be extended to them?

Is there a point where we question the Republican Party's very ability and right to be a legitimate party in a constitutional Republic?

Or are you saying that if they win both houses in November that we shouldn't let them take office?

You mean... like storm the Capitol and stop it from happening?

There has to be a point where we say an office occupied by them is not a legitimate office.

I think we're there.

I suppose we all ought to be grateful for small favors.
