Republicans are telling their people to prepare to die in the service of the election-stealing hamberdeler. What say you?

I would, and here’s why:

1. My granddads served in WWII to defend American democracy and stop tyranny abroad. Others in my family have served the military as well. I couldn’t look my own kids and grandkids in the eye and tell them I am descended from these heroes but I failed to stop fascism right here at home.
2. A country that is not free and democratic is not worth living in, not worth paying taxes to, not worth saluting.

That’s pretty much it

Agree. Stop trump's steal.

Part of the reason ‘conservatives’ are so full of piss and vinegar right now stems back to what I’ve been saying all along: wannabe alpha males who falsely identify with the GOP also view the Democratic Party as a bunch of sissies. They think that if that bluster enough, the other side will back down.

This is a mistake for two reasons:
A) to assume the military will not intercede to protect the Constitutionally-elected President is foolish at best, and
B) to assume that people who voted Democrat aren’t also armed to the teeth would be a terrible, terrible miscalculation.

Apart from the true brainwashed believers, who are quite loud and obnoxious, I think most Republicans would privately admit to you that they know he's ridiculous. I really don't think 74 million Americans are that dense.

Amid all the din and fury and social media rage, as usual with Republicans, I believe it boils down to not what he stands for, but what he stands against. And those things would be, in no particular order:

--Public health
--Minority rights
--LGBTQ progress
--Women's reproductive rights
--Immigration
--Secularism
--Commonsense gun control
--A fair tax code
--Corporate accountability
--Environmental protections
--Diplomacy
--The notion of public responsibility for anything
--The notion of an accountable and functioning government
--Ultimately, democracy itself, because they realize there isn't a majority in this country committed to stopping these things, so rigging the system and entrenching rural-based minority rule is the only way.

Most Republicans appear to have concluded he's the best or only battering ram they have, and they're willing to make a deal with the devil and support Trump despite his glaring flaws and hypocrisies.

Honestly I don't know who's worse: The brainwashed Trumpist true believers or the cold and calculating mini-McConnells of the world who ally with Trump out of self-interest because they are just fundamentally anti-social and opposed to progress.

It’s a cult.

That’s how I read this.
