I believe should we get this country back on track on the Founder's grand experiment, the Republican party, as a whole, should be declared a terrorist organization. They've done more damage than ISIS to the U.S., and Bin Laden must be laughing with his 72 virgins at what he began and how the republicans took up his sword and carried forth with it.

We have an organization that tracks terrorist groups such as Proud Boys and other militias and nazi's. The Republican party fits right into this milieu. Especially since they organized, supported, and helped carry out the first ever coup in the United States on Jan 6. If that's not an enemy party, what is?

Furthermore, by using National Guard and our own military as shock troops against the American People they are the epitome of a terror group.

We're going to have a lot of work to do to get this country back on track. It'll be decades before the rest of the world ever trusts us again. Ask Germany what they went through after WWII. And, because of the Nazi's supported by people like Musk, trump, Thiel, Miller, and especially Bannon, look what Germany is having to fight all over again? Even tho they were smart enough to put down laws against this kind of thing happening again.

If the Democratic party had been a part of anything like this, they'd have been legally disbanded and shot on sight. I made a comment in an earlier message and someone replied to me. I asked if the branch of govt tasked with carrying out the laws of the other 2 branches say "screw you" what do we do? Someone answered me... "Vigilante Justice." We may be getting to that point. I don't want a civil war, but it's clear the other side does in the worst possible way. I've already decided there is way too much history I don't know enough about, and plan to rectify that situation. I know there were low points where the highest ideals and laws were pushed aside because the other side fought against them. After the Civil War... Reconstruction failed. After WWII, obviously the best laid plans were a failure as we see now with Israel and the surrounding countries. It's time to read more about WHY these ideals failed and how. And to think critically about how we can avoid the same mistakes in the future. It's too easy to say "shoot them all." And I'm absolutely not beyond saying "deport them to countries that support their ideologies." But I honestly don't think any of them is preferable or achievable. So, what is? I believe the first step is to declare enemies of the state who have shown they ARE enemies of the state... even if they live here.
