WAKE UP CALL FOR REPUBLICANS

While that is sadly true, the point of that video was that it wasn't Democrats showing their 4th point of contact to the world on January 6th. Did you even watch the video?

I did. We are so divided it doesn’t matter what is said. Both sides are saying it about each other and they’d both be correct. No, the words aren’t the same but the sentiment and the vitriol is. SSG Michael Hartsfield

SFC (Join to see) Again, that is true. However one of the ways we can start bridging that gap is by telling the truth. While the sentiment may be the same but worded differently, only one group of people chose to listen to a person who was angry that he lost an election and chose to assault our nation’s Capitol because of it.

SSG Michael Hartsfield - It wasn't Republicans showing their 4th point of contact in New York City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Rochester, Kenosha, Portland, Philadelphia, Seattle, Atlanta, Bakersfield, Columbus, Dallas/Ft Worth, Des Moines, Denver, Detroit, D.C., Denver, Louisville, Memphis, Phoenix, Sacramento, and San Jose.

What were the inciteful words said by President Trump on January 6th, or any other day that encouraged storming the Capitol. All I'm asking you for is the truth.

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

Here is a transcript of his comments at the stop the steal protest.

SSG Michael Hartsfield - Your innocence is refreshing

CPT Jack Durish - Not at all. I'm looking at this from the perspective of the rich, American aristocracy. Those are the people that will never vote Democrat but can't abide themselves supporting the current Republican party. They also know that they will have to slow walk every attempt to gain the presidency again due to the indelible stain on the party left by Donald Trump. Mark my words. Many more moderate conservatives will being to bubble up to the surface in order to counter Trumpublicans.

SSG Michael Hartsfield - You seriously don't think there will be a viable Republican Presidential candidate for about 90 years? The difference in the popular vote was less than 4%. About 47% of the voters preferred a President Trump despite his thoroughly repugnant personality to President-elect Biden's vision of America.

Most lopsided victories in American Presidential History by popular vote margin
1 Warren Harding - R defeats James Cox - D by 26.17% 1920
2 Calvin Coolidge - R defeats John Davis - D by 25.22% 1924
3 Franklin Roosevelt - D defeats Alf Landon - R by 24.26% 1936
4 Richard Nixon - R defeats George McGovern -D by 23.15% 1972
5 Lyndon Johnson - D defeats Barry Goldwater - R by 22.58% 1964
4% is nothing.

The GOP Holds 27 Governors seats
The DNC holds 23 Governor seats
That's a net gain of 1 for the GOP

The GOP holds both state legislative houses in the state in 30 states, that's a net gain of 1
The DNC holds both state legislative houses in the state in 19 states, that's a net loss of 1

In 22 States The GOP holds both the Governorship and BOTH legislative bodies
that's a net gain of 2

Despite predictions that the DNC would pickup 5-15 swat in the House, they lost 7.

Can the Republican Party get some anesthetic while you perform that autopsy?

In every non-Presidential election year but two of American Politics since WWII the party in opposition to the sitting President has lost seats. President-elect Biden should make the best of these two years and pray that every Democrat in either house toe the Party line, or his agenda goes nowhere.

Maj John Bell - Considering that none of those people had ever encountered anyone like Donald Trump AND every Democrat will use Trump's name as the same cudgel Republicans used Obama's as, that assessment is rather generous. Additionally, this will not be like Obama's term when he held a majority House and Senate, as the so called "Blue Dog Democrats" are long since gone and more progressive Democrats willing to actually work with the President are in office.
As far as getting some anesthesia, the Republican party has been self-anesthetizing themselves with bricks to the face as the majority of them contorted themselves into whatever shape Donald wanted them to be in. They sacrificed everything they said the Republican party stood for just to achieve temporary political gains that are already planning to be erased in the Biden administration. Moreover, the Republican party will wear the name "Trump" as a political scarlet letter and will further fracture within their ranks at all levels as more moderate Republicans seeking to salvage the remnants of what the party used to be are pitted against more extreme Republicans seeking to use the nostalgia and tried and true model of Trump as a springboard for their political careers.
