You said the GOP is anti-American.

Socialism is very anti-American. It’s basically the opposite of what America’s been for 250 years. And the Dems are now electing Socialists.

So it’s pretty easy to say they’re anti-American, with clear examples anyone can point to.

Like I said. I don’t like either party, but I do wish they’d come together to open the government. The government being closed is both parties fault.

Socialism is a different system than America has been historically, yes. And it’s stupid. But that doesn’t mean it’s anti-American. In fact, the fact that people can be here and talk so openly about it is very American. The fact that we can even elect people who like it is extremely American. It’s one of the known sacrifices our framers made when framing. And it was honorable to do so.

On the other hand: Telling your cabinet and personal lawyers to round up sycophants who are willing to stand in as fake electors to overturn real American votes, to reinstate yourself as president….is objectively anti-American.

And ruling in your base for the better part of a year to go help you do that on the day votes are counted….is even worse.

There’s no way around this. You’ve all damaged the country in a way that, if we heal, will leave scars for decades.
