If you're a Republican and you're not a crazy person -- that is, you KNOW that QAnon is nonsense and that drunken rants from subliterate buffoons about stolen ballots actually embarrass you -- then it's time for you to come to grips with the fact that the supposed adults in your party are not only coddling and enabling the crazies, but that they no longer fundamentally believe in democracy.
What Ken Paxton wants -- what Ken Paxton has solemnly said he wants the Supreme Court to do, under penalty of perjury and Rule 11 sanctions -- is to craft nonsense relief that will overturn the democratic will of the American people and somehow make Donald Trump president again.
We have a word for what it means to disregard democratic elections and install a losing candidate instead. That word is "treason," and the word for people who support treason is "traitor."
Republicans, that's your party right now: a party that appears split between people who are truly batshit, out-of-their-fucking-minds full-on crazy, and those who are coddling the crazies by committing, advocating, litigating for full-on treason.
And that's it. There are NO other voices in government right now with an (R) next to their name. Just crazies and traitors.
So: that's your party. What are you going to do about it? ~~~Andrew Torrez
