Have the GOP and RNC declared civil war on the rest of America?
I'm just wondering, what constitutes an act of war? Everyday something new comes up that shows a clear and intentional disregard for Constitutional rights for Americans, with the ultimate purpose of setting up a right-wing government that could never be challenged by the Democrats through traditional methods. The list of malfeasance is endless. Stolen elections, wire-tapping, politicizing the appointment of federal prosecutors and judges, obstructing investigations. If you can't see one of these things as an act of war, what about the total sum? And shouldn't we be talking about them in these strong terms so that there is absolutely no doubt in anybody's mind, that we are outraged?

1. They have committed many acts of treasons. They should be imprisoned.
Yes, I do believe it is a civil war. The corporatist side is beating us to a bloody pulp.

3. I don't think we're even ready to start following the trail of bloody bread crumbs.
I'm just saying, the proof is in the pudding. Civil war was declared on us several years ago. We were just hit more stealthy than the attack on Pearl Harbor.

5. In my opinion, they declared war back in the seventies
and have been fighting and winning most of all the battles since.

The media battle has been lost to GOPers at least a decade or so now.

The government has been loaded up with GOPers who have gutted it of everything worthwhile. The Treasury has been looted and turned over to GOPer cronies.

So, if there was a GOPer war, it has been over for a while now.

We didn't win.

6. I don't think civil, it's a pretty one sided war
They're the ones who have been doing the dishing out and we've been taking it, but beaten bloody there are a few of us struggling to get up off our knees, we'll get our licks in yet.
