All of Maga is a threat to the Republic. They’re enemies of the American people.

That is not really true. He is just an old smelly man. The threat is the fact that millions of people will vote for him. Those people are the threat and they do not go away with him.

“Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.
So many people want to ignore or justify his deliberate attempts to subvert the 2020 election. He literally directed the Vice President to throw out the votes in entire states. That’s just insane, but what’s worse, people are still supporting him.

The candidate that just suggested we do actually do a violent “purge” hour might be bad?

Point for correctly identifying our country as a republic and not a democracy.
However on the threat I don’t follow. It would seem our doom lies in following the current course. You can’t possibly believe things have been going hunky dory for the last few years
> Your editorial "Harris needs to lower the rhetorical temperature" argues that Donald Trump is not a threat to democracy and that electing him won't end the country.
> While I agree the rhetorical temperature should be lowered – by both sides – there is nothing in Mr. Trump's behavior as president that compels the conclusion he is not a threat to democracy: just the opposite, actually.
I drove by wrentham Massachusetts and was flabbergasted to see how many support the turd.

He always have been and will always be as well as people like him – people who don’t care about society around them.

On a lot of levels, the threat is social media and outlets like Fox News. These bring together the terrible people who have since the beginning of humanity existed, but were for the most part isolated. (There have been exceptions: see the Nazi Party, for one).
Now, they get organized and their anger stoked by each other and Fox News and for the first time in maybe forever these Neanderthals are adding their numbers to a seemingly dying political party (Republican) with outdated ideas that don’t represent the majority of Americans. And now they are powerful. This is the biggest threat.

I’m still utterly amazed on a daily basis that 70 million fucking morons think this orange turd is their savior.
Every. Fucking. Day.

This has to be a typo. That’s not how you spell Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump puts the entire system at risk.
