How about our leadership recognize the threat and start treating it as such? Appeasing an enemy never works. Right now the Republican party led by the extremists in the party is as much a threat to our
democratic republic as any foreign power. Only they're not using guns & bullets.
There, fixed it. Happy now? The GOP wants total control of the country and they're slow walking us in that direction. Absolute power and we know where that leads.

The Reich-Wing extremists are using the banner of "free speech" against us. Maybe we can use statutes of sedition against them but someone(s) in a leadership position will have to bite the bullet and go after them. Maybe if the next insurrection fails something will be done.
