Extremists seize back control of the Republican Party's message machine "McCarthyism was never defeated. Trumpism won’t be either. "Donald’s Plot Against America"" [...] The GOP is again coming across as a party that glorifies violence, denies truth, defies constitutional order, excuses insurrection, fuels conspiracy theories, appeases extremists and trashes democracy in its zeal to grab back power. [...] ...30% of Republicans said they believed violence might be necessary to "save the United States" -- proof of the power of Trump's insurrectionist and racially suggestive message that the country has been stolen from real, patriotic Americans. [...] The ex-President sent out a flurry of statements just on Tuesday, claiming the real insurrection had taken place on Election Day last year, not on January 6. His latest blasts came as some of his aides refuse subpoenas issued by the House select committee investigating the attack. Their obstructionism raises questions about Congress' constitutional role in assuring checks and balances on executive power for decades to come. And it deepens concerns that if he wins back the White House in a possible 2024 campaign, the ex-President will finish the job of obliterating democracy. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=167092053
Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun [...] For more than a year now, with tacit and explicit support from their party’s national leaders, state Republican operatives have been building an apparatus of election theft. Elected officials in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states have studied Donald Trump’s crusade to overturn the 2020 election. They have noted the points of failure and have taken concrete steps to avoid failure next time. Some of them have rewritten statutes to seize partisan control of decisions about which ballots to count and which to discard, which results to certify and which to reject. They are driving out or stripping power from election officials who refused to go along with the plot last November, aiming to replace them with exponents of the Big Lie. They are fine-tuning a legal argument that purports to allow state legislators to override the choice of the voters. [...] “I’ll tell you this,” Bannon said. “It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen. Okay, it’s going to be quite extraordinarily different.

ALEC Exploits Pandemic to Push Right-Wing Policy Goals at Annual Meeting " ALEC Exposed .. big bad and ugly legislation source .. alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed " [...] ALEC has played a major role in the right-wing movement to reopen the economy following state stay-at-home orders as the coronavirus spread across the nation.

JimLur, Obstructionism is not simply the blocking of bills. Sure both parties block bills, sometimes for their own legitimate reasons. [...] The Victory of ‘No’ The GOP’s unprecedented anti-Obama obstructionism was a remarkable success. And then it handed the party to Donald Trump. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=161155376
