Combined, he warned, these seemingly opposing feelings come to one terrible conclusion: “the strongest bulwark of any Government, and particularly of those constituted like ours, may effectually be broken down and destroyed — I mean the attachment of the People.”

Yes, the Republican Party is now the gravest threat to our nation.
 
We watched a police officer being beating by a pole with an American Flag on it, and a traitor walking through the halls of Congress with a Confederate Battle flag, that is the trump camp, Own It.

Dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, political violence, bigotry of a demonized 'other', and strong regimentation of society, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion .... CHECK!
