The Final Battle for America’s Democracy
Forget November 3. It’s January 3 when Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans might bury our democracy once and for all. Here’s how.

And related to this -- there once was a period when you could actually be seen as *too* openly racist for Republicans.
Now they're all worried they're not being racist enough, that they're leaving themselves open to a primary challenge by a literal Klansman campaigning in a hood.

One of the most remarkable things about the Trump era, and especially Trump II, has been seeing how guys like Emmer have changed. He was never a moderate, but he was seen as a mainstream Republican, not a Steve King type. Now he's, well, a Steve King type
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

Hegseth at Normandy:
"Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."
