Many Republicans never fail to demonstrate why they are nothing more than a minority group of fringe, gutter living, white nationalist, xenophobic, cowardly, domestic terrorist sympathizing, cult worshipping, mentally unhinged, reality denying, and criminally insane rabble.
Members of the former Party of Lincoln showed at least three times this last weekend why they are unfit to lead and govern any office in this country.
First, as Az Blue Meanie reported, Texas ultra conservative radicals voted, at a Republican convention to deny the reality of Joe Biden being elected President. They also approved measures to label homosexuality abnormal and rebuke Senator John Cornyn and other Republican Senators for supporting a modest bipartisan Senate deal on gun control.
Second, Republican Representative and January 6 Committee Member Adam Kinzinger, his wife, and five month old child have received death threats via a letter addressed to Mrs. Kinzinger.
What kind of animal threatens the life of a five month old. Then again, what kind of animal threatens anyone's life.
To his credit, Representative Kinzinger is not cowering to these despicable individuals, posting on social media:

Representative Kinzinger is right. These people are cowards and the great majority of the country who live in the light of truth need to shine and turn out on Election Day to defeat these cowardly forces of darkness.
Despite the events in Texas and what happened to Representative Kinzinger and his family, perhaps the most insane-potentially criminal demonstration of how down in the gutter the former Party of Lincoln has gone is this political ad by adulterer (and accused sexual assaulter,) Senate Candidate, and former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens.
In this ad, Mr. Grietens (again this is someone who was accused of sexual assault) introduced himself as "I'm Eric Greitens, Navy Seal. Today we're going to go RINO hunting."
For those that do not know, RINO means Republican in Name Only. Or put it another way for Mr. Greitens and his supporters: Republicans who believe in reality, the Republic, and the Constitution.
The ad continues with Greitens, accompanied by fully masked actors (hopefully) posing as special forces/law enforcement storming a house.
Greitens says:
"The RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice...Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn't expire until we save our country."
What this country needs to be saved from are people like Eric Greitens.
This "man" is repulsive and insane.
To actually put forth an ad calling for the hunting and killing of human beings should meet with both civil and criminal action.
What if a Greitens supporter takes this ad seriously and goes after people like Representative Kinzinger, Representative Cheney, former President Bush, or any member of Congress that certified the Biden/Harris election?
In a column criticizing this horrible ad, Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman, referencing also what happened to Kinzinger wrote:
"When more of it happens (threats of or actual political violence,) candidates such as Greitens will pretend they had nothing to do with it. They will say their ugly, violent rhetoric was just figurative — even as they wink and nod to their supporters. They’ll claim to be shocked and ask how they could possibly have known anyone would take them seriously.
But we should take them very seriously. Violence isn’t something they’re working to discourage. It has become a key part of their rhetoric and their political program. And the worse it gets, the more pleased they’ll be."
Waldman is right.
These people have become the Twenty First Century version of Italy's Black or Germany's Brown Shirts.
The sooner voters realize how much a clear and present danger these "people" are and vote them out, the safer out nation and Democratic Republic will be.
