The Republican party used to be highly principled and an important part of our democracy. But now they seem to oppose the very idea of democracy. I liked them better when the were opposing “big D” Democrats, not “little d” democracy. The party now seems to be about retaining power at all costs. See my previous post Are Republicans the enemy of democracy? for more.
It is obvious to most normal people that Joe Biden clearly won the election for President. And I include many Republicans in that group. But the group that attacked the Capitol and those who encouraged them are clearly different.
Even after the Capitol attack quite a few Republican lawmakers still voted to disenfranchise millions of voters by agreeing with the terrorists who attacked the Capitol.
These 2 articles discuss that. The first gives the names of those in both the House of Representatives and Senate who voted in support of the terrorists’ wish to overturn the results of the election.
