I agree with every single word here.
Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms.
Many Republicans would just quote the constitution as they are marched to the firing squad.

7 seconds into this video of the attack in Mannheim yesterday, watch as the female police officer turns and runs away from the scene.
Her colleagues don’t cover themselves in glory either. All of them take steps back, even though they are armed with guns!
Tragically, the only policeman brave enough to intervene tackled an innocent man (wearing the blue jacket) who was punching an bystander by mistake. Total chaos and confusion, and none of it made better by the insecure and frightened behaviour of the police.
