The Republican revolt against democracy, explained in 13 charts
The Trump years revealed a dark truth: The Republican Party is no longer committed to democracy. These charts tell the story.
The Republican Party is the biggest threat to American democracy today. It is a radical, obstructionist faction that has become hostile to the most basic democratic norm: that the other side should get to wield power when it wins elections.
A few years ago, these statements may have sounded like partisan Democratic hyperbole. But in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol and Trump’s acquittal in the Senate on the charge of inciting it, they seem more a plain description of where we’re at as a country.
But how deep does the GOP’s problem with democracy run, really? How did things get so bad? And is it likely to get worse?
Below are 13 charts that illustrate the depth of the problem and how we got here. The story they tell is sobering: At every level, from the elite down to rank-and-file voters, the party is permeated with anti-democratic political attitudes and agendas. And the prospects for rescuing the Republican Party, at least in the short term, look grim indeed."

It is what it is, the repuke party of treason, sedition, moral rot and hypocrisy that is consumed with the poison and stench of tRump's and the tyrants lawlessly hacked in insurgency of filth on its degraded existence and soul has come to the point of being disabled at either supporting or co-existing in a civilized society. Yet this this atrocity on America and humanity of the repuke curse, and that of a destructive threat while living it up and whoring it up on the taxpayer dime against humanity has relegated itself to become a clump of un-American barbaric savages and all else of an unGodly nature on Earth.
