    “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.

      Um, that isn’t hyperbole or an exaggerated quote. Fucker actually said that during opening day of CPAC.

      Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

      The fact that every legitimate Republican didn’t denounce them during the rest of CPAC means they are condoning this belief if not outright endorsing it publicly.

      At this point anyone not doing everything they can to prevent Trump or other Republicans from gaining executive power is helping them and a traitor. We’ve long known this is what Republicans want. This is just the all-too-obvious cherry on top.

      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.
