CPAC extremists vow to destroy American democracy

 For those who don’t know, here is the heart of what used to be the Republican Party - at the CPAC meeting:

 Alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec vowed to finish what rioters began on Jan. 6 by working to “overthrow” democracy “completely.”

Posobiec made the comments during the opening day of CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Washington, D.C., Wednesday.

“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

The White Christian Nationalists have given up on democracy because they are repulsive theocratic authoritarians and cannot win outside of deep red enclaves. They have been preparing for their violent overthrow of America for decades. And here they are. Trump is just the current battering ram. 

But actual America will defeat these fanatics who collect in extremist huddles and pump themselves up with bravado.
