‘This is an important perspective - our current international order is about a lot more than trade, tariffs and investment. It is about peace, security, development, climate change, shared standards, and respect for law, including human rights and international humanitarian law. We diminish ourselves and what’s at stake dramatically by limiting the conversation to “rules based order”, as if conventions on genocide and torture, for example, are mere “rules”. Much of the current neo-liberal and more conservative commentary misses this point entirely.’

@_L1vY_ @HopeVanDyne Right!

Confederate Republicans-In-Name-only can't ever win in a single election, if they didn't suppress masses of voters known to be casting their ballots wisely not for the anti-electorate party, "GOP".

@marcelias 😎🤔 Fourteenth Amendment Section 3.

Disqualify all of Trump's co-conspirators inciting & engaging in insurrection against the authority of the United States & the laws thereof, and giving aid & comfort thereto.

@oppophonist @johnettesnuggs The German design of Defensive Democracy appears to be pretty effective & appealing model:

"The idea behind the concept is the notion that even a majority rule of the people cannot be allowed to install a totalitarian or autocratic regime such as with the Enabling Act of 1933, thereby violating the principles of the German constitution, the Basic Law."

@soc_i_ety 💪 Protect & defend democracy! To keep the Rule of the People alive.

The Civil War was a violent, murderous rebellion of a minority disrespecting the democratic principle of majority rule, as expressed by Lincoln's election victory.
It was a rebellion against democracy, humanity, civility & community.
It was intolerable then & it's intolerable today, being as anti-American as it can get, if the words of the Declaration of Independence & its product, the United States Constitution are supposed to be taken seriously.

@WackyIdeas @New_Narrative @edgeoforever It's very likely overdue to stop thinking of today's "Republicans" as a normal electable "political party" respecting the Constitution & Americans' democracy.
Decades-long anti-constitutional racist voter suppression, representing corporate interests rather than the electorate's, senatorial acquittal of a twice-impeached career criminal, who a shocking equally sociopathic majority of "GOP's voters thinks he did nothing wrong, more that 140 congressional "GOPers" voting to overthrow a non-"Republican" government-elect, dozens of "Republican" Attorneys General harassing the Supreme Court/federal courts to overthrow the results of the 2020 election should be disqualifying enough for any "Republican" candidacy for parliamentary representation, be it in states or on federal level.
