    “Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

    When Democrats raise red flags about Republicans trying to end democracy, maybe listen, because Republicans aren’t hiding it anymore.

      I’m glad you’re saying this and that OP posted it, I didn’t have the heart to. It’s so depressing that half our government (not half the people) are trying to make america authoritarian.

    Holy shit. It does not get anymore brazen than this. He flat out called for the end of democracy. This is facsim plain and simple. This mimicks Hitler’s rise to power almost perfectly. Hell, even Texas is ready to roundup as many immigrants as possible and ship them out to god knows where. It’s sickening that this is what republicans and calling for when Trump wins the primary inevitably. Wake the fuck up people, this is happening.

      It’s been happening since the 1930s. It’s far too normalized to get the response it should.

    That fellow needs to appreciate that when the entirety of the criminal justice system fails to stop them, the rest of us are a Go.

    Actually, Merrick could do with some appreciation of that as well.
