Anyone who is comfortable being in a political party whose leadership is actively working to overthrow our government, even using violent coups as tactics, should be shunned from decent society. Full stop.

There were about 25 killings last year by extremists in America, every single one of them by someone who is on the "right." Instead of calling for civility, the republican party's leadership and most prominent members continue to throw fuel on the fire while throwing tantrums about people that suggest we should have access to affordable healthcare and things like that. Some of them are even calling for secession right now. I mean, how dumb are these people? And how dumb is anyone in their party who isn't loudly calling them out? Blue states literally fund red states. No one will want to live in their shithole country should they secede. So no, I have zero faith and zero respect for anyone's intelligence that remains a part of that.

Signed, someone who is also not a Dem and quite unhappy with them too. Why? The answer is in MLK's Letter From Birmingham Jail. Highly recommend.
