Yeah maybe they get voted out. Did you see the letter the democrat progressive caucus sent out about trump Ukrainian and immediately took back. Let’s not act like both sides don’t do this.

The faction that calls Mitt Romney a "RINO" or openly attempts/succeeds in ruining Kinzinger or Cheney's careers for simply holding people accountable. There was a time when good men on both sides would put aside the party, and stand unified for Country. That's what we need today. It is what Cheney and Kinzinger are doing. I'm a doggone registered Republican, and I freaking hate the current direction of the party.
I'm not saying that those people are "fascists." That's a strong word. However, I do believe that there are those in the party who are actual fascists, just like there are those in the Left who are actual communists. Still the far right checks many of the boxes on the "what it takes to be a fascist" checklist, and we should keep an eye on that. After all, the Germans didn't just wake up in a fascist regime one day. It's a process, one step at a time. I'd say those who deny that there was a coup attempt on January 6th, or who deny that the 2020 election was a fair election are teetering dangerously on that edge. Those are simply facts that any rational person should understand. The far right believing in the "big lie" is really terrifying.

Ok I’ll ask you again who exactly is the fascist in the GOP?
You are right it’s a very strong world and one that suddenly is everywhere. Nobody is even close to being one it’s just a lazy argument.
However I do like history and how everyone is like Germany Germany meanwhile the guy who coined the term and started the first party to go that way is like hey what about me.
Fasci Italiani di Combattimento
To get back to this it’s the middle of the country that needs to grow a spine and tell both extremes to F off and stop the BS.
As for Adam and Liz. Nobody ruined them they did what they did. You think it’s right the voters don’t and the democrats liked Adam so much they redrew the map and put him in a left leaning district.
You and I disagree I’m very happy to see the old Republican Party die. Y’all can have W and Cheney. Those two got us into two pointless wars that cost the lives of our servicemen civilians and tons of money for absolutely nothing.

But no, I had not seen that. Haven't been in the news much lately.
