The Death Spiral of the Republican Party

Why is the Republican party pinning itself to what is being documented, by even the redacted Mueller Report (affirmed in a letter signed by hundreds of past and present legal practitioners), as a criminal, presidential administration?

Let's be real, the Republican party is following a plan to re-prosecute the Civil War.

The Republicans are shameless sycophants to the 45 administration because it allows them, in concert with the Senate majority, to seed the federal courts with far, far right ideologues.

The original Civil War was a military attack on their country by seceding states. When they lost the leaders did not face an appropriate trial for treason; the gallows for convictions. There were no consequences for the soldiers who willingly fought and killed their fellow Americans; see: “insurrection,” in Article !, Section 8 of the US Constitution.

Around the start of the 20th century many people began to rewrite, misrepresent, the history of the Civil War. No matter how the new version of history misleads, the Constitutions of the seceding states clearly document the right of white people to own people of color as slaves, and the authority to recapture and punish any slave attempting to escape said bonds.

Majority rules,” used to mean, “white people,” (using an extremely narrow definition of, “white”) ruled until there was minority-majority. This happens when said white people are a plurality and all the rest (non-white), combined, are a majority. This has happened in multiple states (probably including the most populous states of: CA, TX, FL and NY). Reactionary, white, opposition groups have emerged and taken over the Republican party and are making radical, often criminal, efforts to undo or overwhelm the consequences of the aforementioned demographic shift.

If the current, Democratic majority in the US House don't do everything in their power to stop (in this, current session of the legislature) the 45 and Republican effort to throw our nation back 60 to 160 years... Campaign incessantly on the Senate and the 45 administration's efforts to return to early 20th century's, “Jim Crow,” or worse, the early 19th century's slave holding culture...

Democracy and the Republic die, on our watch, in these United States of America.
