The Republicans have turned increasingly to the right. As Obama said, they have embraced all kinds of crazy for years. It goes way back. But they are extremists now. Meanwhile, their stonewalling and blocking of all needed legislation for 40 years, and increasingly so, has polarized Democrats on the other side. The result of this stagnation and repression imposed by Republicans is that real problems and concerns have increased. So the activism on the Left has increased too. The 4T is the time of decision. Which side are you on? It seems despite your claims, you have chosen the right-wing. If I am wrong about that, I'd be pleased, but I don't see it from you right now.

Why not support the current actions and proposals of Biden and the Democrats to restore sanity to our government and our country? Why not oppose Trump's attempted coup, and support his conviction over this solid breach of his oath of office?

Trump needs to be prevented from serving in office again, and he needs to be silenced as much as possible lest he stir up more violent mobs. Threatening or inciting assassination of public officials is a crime. Taylor-Greene belongs in jail, not in congress.

Let's take a second to look at the rightward drift of the GOP over decades and the Presidency of Donald Trump.  Did Trump really move the puck down the ice, or he just apply a slapshot at the glass?  I think it matters, because he seems to have a hold on the party that has little to do with their "core beliefs", at least as they have stated them in the past.  There's more at play here than ideological fortification.  We're seeing something akin to true derangement. Remember the howls about Trump Derangement Syndrome?  It's typical for accusers to point at their adversaries (enemies?) and accuse them of the very conditions they exemplify themselves.  

So we're now in very dangerous territory, because we have one serious major party (agree with their ideas or don't) and the other in a state resembling mental illness.  This resembles the 1850s and even the 1950s, with conspiracy theories driving the politics of the time.  The fever broke in the 1950s, not so much in the 1850s

You seem to be ignoring that as the American right (the Republican base) has been moving the Republicans further to the right, the Left has been been moving the Democratic party further to the left to the point where the Democratic Party is barely recognizable as an American party these days. So, which side that's controlled by ideological zealots is going nuts these days?  So, how many crazy left wing women are going to directly participate in the war that they start with America? You are now in very dangerous territory and we won't be fighting over slavery this time. We'll be fighting over a country vs a foreign regime that you either f-d up and elected or wanted. I can tell you this, the Left is going to lose and the Democratic side is going to be destroyed in the process.
