Every day, a stream of GOP propaganda depicts Democrats as “radicals.” This is straight out of the right-wing authoritarian playbook and it is setting up a rationale for a takeover to “save the nation.”

They are not hiding who they are, or what they're planning.

They always invoke the name of the American people. They know very well the majority of the people are against them.

Partisanship! Reaching across the aisle! Comity of the House.

I hope some D calls her and the GQP out on this crap, but I fear they won’t. Strong unified messaging is a lost art for D’s.

A real gambler, that Stefanik. Pelosi has already said she will not be Speaker next session. HER choice.
