Experts warn of increased risk of US terror attacks by rightwing ‘lone wolf’ actors
Individuals rather than organized groups more likely to commit extremist crimes as inflammatory Republican rhetoric escalates
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...attack-warning

I look forward to a day when the Republican party is outlawed...

I look forward to the day when the current Republicans are replaced by a reformed and decent party of 'Eisenhower Republicans,' led by the likes of Mitch Romney and Liz Cheney. They can keep the name Republicans if they want....

No Don, that's a knee jerk reactionary response. We need at least two parties willing to work together to benefit the American people. The current Republican/GOP/GQP leadership does not fit that description. Once upon a time while the Repubs didn't necessarily see eye-to-eye with the Dems they found a way to work together. That is not the case anymore. Honestly I don't think there's enough "centerest" Repubs left to bring the party back from the far right direction that certain "loud voices" are dragging it to.

You mean like Ron DeSantis is actively campaigning on?

Desantis says Good Morning: “I will serve two terms, and I will be able to destroy leftism in this country.”

https://twitter.com/i/status/1663160099924213762

He then goes on to say that Disney is “a multibillion-dollar company that sexualizes children.”

You want more?

Texas Republicans pass voting bills targeting large Democratic county
The new law would single out Houston, with its sizable Black population, for a different election process
This new law which controls the voting the process only applies to Harris county which includes Houston.

Quote:
The measure gives the secretary of state under certain conditions the power to run elections in Harris County, home to Houston and 4.8 million residents. It follows a bill approved days earlier that shifts the oversight of elections from its appointed elections administrator to the county clerk and county assessor.
Just a technicality transferring to the county clerk & assessor. Real intent is for the Secretary of State to take over, and if he/she is anything like their AG, guess what?

This whole myth about Dems wanting one party control is a myth propagated while the Repugnants are slowly but surely turning Texas and Florida into one party states. I had a MAGAt tell me once that CA is a one party state. Told him every one there gets to vote by mail, no questions asked and the current speaker of the Freedumb house is a Californian. How TF does that happen? Usual blank brainless stare, he has not been programmed with another mindless response.

If you believe tRump's election fraud blathering, you're ripe for the picking.

ROFLMAO Looks like somebody figured why let Donny be the only one to do the grifting.

EDIT: I retract the ROFLMAO. It's a shame that people have been so groomed, so radicalized that they'd fall for things like this. I lay the blame for this on the GOP. The party set 'em up and tRump came along and knocked 'em down. It's inevitable that scammers would come along to get a bite of the pie.

Hey Republicans,

Why didn’t you care when Donald Trump sold pride merch? You claim Target and other brands with pride collections are “targeting kids” and are “satanic” but your cult leader did it and you had no problem with it.

Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites. It was never about the merchandise being sold. It’s always been about their blatant homophobia and opposition to the LGBTQ+ community.
