Why interuprt their circle jerk with facts that dispell their false narrative rubbish about extremist (R's)?

If there was a way to bring the Founding Forefathers into modern day America, and they were asked which political party is more faithful to the constitutional republic they left us, it would not be a close vote at all.

How about Harris saying she would try to kill President Trump if they were in an elevator together?
He hasn't responded to any of the crazy ideas his whole DC elected base believes.

I don't know why so many politicians and political influencers (including us CD folk) are even obliquely suggesting that it is okay to hurt people because we disagree with them. I am guilty of it myself. It is a sick twist on current events. I believe we are better than this, but I do not believe a nominal "call for unity" is the antidote. I am not sure what is.

They believe that we can actually change the climate of the Earth by sending money to the government.

They believe we should ban air travel and not eat meat.

They believe the USA was founded in 1619.

And you're saying the GOP has the extremist nuts?
OP you sure have been smoking that stuff way too much, your hallucinations are ridiculously funny.

The GOP is best understood as an insurgency that carried the seeds of its own corruption from the start.

Dems are not whack jobs. FYI you know that trump was a dem his entire life right> and he only ran R because the D party was taken by Hilary then. So all you believing that trump was a true R we'll you just drinking his lies of kool aid because trump was and is only out for himself only and he borderline Hitler!! Is that what the American Country is coming too? Shameful. With Biden in office now hopefully we can wash off trump like a dirty prostitute and bring dignity back to the WHITE HOUSE with Biden in office. Get over it people, Biden won. Dignity always wins. Liars and fakers like trump are seen for what they are in time and hell he self sabatoshied himself and lied to the american public to suit his own needs all of the time and yet trumpsters followed him? Because he found foolish people that he could get to follow him. The intelligent people did not. Shameful what happened at the Capitol! Among other things trump did and yet the you push blame to the Dems? Really? Wow, some people are so simple minded get the fog out of your brains people. Wake up.

Pretty simple really - they reflect their constituents. This is how our representative government works (or doesn't work). The basic assumption is that the average citizen is rational and will never choose a representative that would work against our Constitution and would never be self destructive or embrace lunacy.

What we are seeing today is that this basic assumption is flawed. The under-educated and the deluded can find one another and form a coalition of ignorance in order to get people like this elected. After all they got Trump elected, so not certain why this would be so surprising.

Extremist = anybody to the left of Ronald Reagan, if not 1964 Barry Goldwater (called for use tactical nukes in Vietnam) or even Joe McCarthy. Right?
