For all Joe Biden’s talk about “semi-fascist” and “un-American,” “ultra-MAGA” Republicans, it is the Democratic Party that has far more radically changed. It is descended into a woke, neo-socialist, radically green party. And it is committed, as Barack Obama once promised, to fundamentally transforming America. How it proceeds with that agenda is now as entirely predictable as it is creepy.(Snip)We are faced with a strictly disciplined, no-nonsense revolutionary party, well known from history that aims to change the nation into something unrecognizable by most Americans. And it feels that it has now created the means to do it.

If the USA really wants effective borderline security and to draw most mass uncontrolled illegal immigration to a close, the USA would pass a constitutional amendment to the effect that any alien who last entered the USA unlawfully across land borders, or who overstayed a temporarily authorized stay in the USA, is permanently disqualified from attaining or being granted US citizenship. That would mean that illegal aliens in the USA would never be able to vote in US elections. If that happened leftist Democrat support for mass uncontrolled illegal immigration would be dropped like a hot potato!

I always wondered what "semi-facist" means. Does that mean you're a fascist on every other day?

Allow me to make an observation reducing the discussion to fundamental foci. Democrats hate the United States of America and are morphing into a revolutionary communist party with all the vileness that implies. They hate our country and have intentions of absolute power. This is their version of the Communist Marxist dialectic. In this case, two issues not in conflict but in synchronicity. Useful fools abound in universities and media. Come the revolution, they will be on the first planes to north Nevada gulags. FJB

“All it takes for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing!”
Mr Hanson lays out the enemy of the republic in perfectly understandable facts! Ignore this warning at the peril of the country!

Democrats would never been able to make the headways that they have toward this country's destruction without out the support of Republicans such as McCain, Lindsay Graham, McConnell, Cornyn, McKowsky, and a few more actively helping them. These "Republicans" that say one thing to constituents to get elected, then do the opposite, need to be sent packing by any means.

FTA: “ We are faced with a strictly disciplined, no-nonsense revolutionary party, well known from history that aims to change the nation into something unrecognizable by most Americans. And it feels that it has now created the means to do it.”
So this is where we are. Stuck in the end of a coup d’etat with no leverage other than our outrage. It is clear when the country actually went off the rails. It was heading toward that disaster but with the theft of the 2020 election we shot off the rails and ground to a halt in a lawless nightmare. Now the Republic is on life support with half of the country clamoring to pull the plug.
We missed the opportunity to stop this disaster when Republicans decided to look away from the truth right in front of them after the 2020 election. They did not want to fight the good fight, the one that required courage and determination and allowed the corrupt democrat party to steal what they could not win. Had Republicans rallied around or shown any curiosity about the many glaring anomalies that was obvious after the election, we might have avoided the travesty of a lawless administration that has abandoned truth and personal integrity for raw unadulterated political power. Now our backs are against the wall. This administration successfully ignores our founding principles of equality under the law and leaves us no recourse. History very well may get it right and understand what went wrong and why but we are left here at the mercy of a totally transformed country we do not recognize. Are we to be nothing more than witnesses to our destruction. It certainly appears so.

VDH is always spot on. But why have elected "Republicans" not already released January Sixers from prison?

The dishonest and corrupt democrat party displays the opposite of proper federal governing. All they do is use outrageous gimmicks to gain and stay in power.

Way too many voters vote Democrat only to say they aren't Republican. That number skyrocketed with Trump. Being "against Trump" was/is virtue-signaling by multitudes of "citizens" who have no earthly idea what is happening outside their 3 mile comfort zone. When it all comes tumbling down they will be the first to exclaim "What happened to cause all this?"

And to think I was ignored and vilified when I said….over and over again……that the Left HATES America, and LOVES to see dead Americans and will do their level best to create as many as they can.
Progressives delenda est.

Democracy and Democrat are at the opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Let's watch and see what the republicans can do to shut down the southern border...King obama is not happy these days...his long awaited change of America to his personal wish for illegals coming in by the millions to offset WE true Americans...his changing of the genders in bathrooms and completing sports and pronoun declarations smacks of his personal life...which is twisted and lacking moral value...and let's never forget he was born in Kenya and was NEVER qualified to be president...along his so called wife...who is sporting an Adam's apple and was born in Chicago as a male....

#8 asks, "But why have elected "Republicans" not already released January Sixers from prison?"
I don't know, but I suspect it is because the prisoners are no longer under the complete jurisdiction of the Speaker of the House and the Capitol Police. Their fate has been delivered the the DOJ for resolution through the courts. Moreover, as innocent as the bulk of the prisoners are, if the Republican House released the prisoners wholesale, the dems and the media would join to accuse the GOP of being traitors, antithetical to the concepts of Constitutional law and order. And the ignorant left voters (e.g., most of NY City and California, among others) would actually believe those claims. The left would then easily win back control of the House in 2024.

VDH - probably due to space limitations - omits the corrupt judiciary, put in place by the dems. Since Congress has abdicated its primary financial responsibilities to the Administration, one would hope the judiciary would save us. But the progressive judges dems have installed are so pervasive they can virtually anytime they need to shop for a judge who will uphold their positions.
Thus, those of us who fear for our nation are left with few options. "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary..."

#14 is correct. However, our Republican congress critters could speak up about the conditions the J6 prisoners are enduring and the denial of their basic Constitutional Rights. Their silence on the fact of the United States holding political prisoners in the heart of D.C. is deafening, and gives evidence to their complicity to this crime against our fellow citizens...and by extension all of us.
