You can murder dogs.
You can threaten to kill your wife, abandon your kids, and lie about paying for an abortion.
You can even storm the Capitol.
But the one thing you cannot do in today’s Republican Party, is tell the truth.

Just ask Liz Cheney.

WDMSO started this thread pointing to what may have been said by "an elderly couple in Arizona", Karen and Steve SLaton, who no one has ever heard of.

Maxine Waters went on national TV and told the world to hound members of Trumps cabinet "so they know they're not welcome anywhere". Congresswomen Pressley called for "unrest in the streets". Those things are OK.

I don't like extremist talk either Pete and Wayne. But if you measure each side by the actual political violence over any time horizon, it's not even close. There's no comparison. January 6th was the first politically-motivated riot i can remember in my life, carried out by the right. The left does it constantly, Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Antifa, etc...these groups aren't just talking, they're actually hurting people and doing damage. The right has a long, long way to go, to catch up to the left, in terms of political violence and property damage. I guess it's fair to throw in abortion clinic bombings too for violence on the right...

"Just ask Liz Cheney." Ask her yourself, she'll be a registered Democrats tell the truth, yes yes, it's "truth" that republicans want to enslave women and pout blacks back in chains and that we hate everybody. All truth. They're all telling the truth about Hunter's laptop, and the influence-peddling the Bidens were almost certainly engaged in. Trump didn't pay his taxes, he colluded with Russia, stories about Russian prostitutes, no untruths there, absolutely none.

If the right is so demented, why do they control a decent majority of state governorships and state legislatures?

Why are people predominantly moving to red states? CA has nice weather, why aren't people moving there? Why are they choosing TX and FL and NC and TN?
