to me too. We aren't dealing with our old GOP rivals who could be at least semi-reasonable, and capable of compromise.

The old wing has mostly resigned or plan to soon. All that is left is foaming at the mouth angy people who surrendered themselves to a cult leader. I don't think even he has complete control over them now. The mob mentality has set in deep.

I agree we have to GOTV for President Biden and all Democrats. We also, however, need to be prepared for the lunatics who are likely going to try underhanded dirty tactics including mass violence not to honor the results.
