    Not a Republican terrorist, he was a MAGA terrorist, there’s a difference.

    The Republican Party is dead. Its core tenets were smaller government, lower taxes, economic responsibility, individual liberty, family values, etc… The MAGA Party espouses none of that. MAGAs openly support treason, racism, corruption, pedophilia, rape, hate, authoritarianism, Fascism, misogyny, ignorance, and much more, but none of it represents the foundation of Republicanism.

    Therefore, the Republican party must be declared to be as dead as the Whigs, only to be referred to in an historical context.

    That way, when this is over, and we are dealing with the aftermath of their treason, we can declare the MAGA Party to be an official Terrorist/ Hate group, and prohibit them from existing.
