I am not being hyperbolic: This election could possibly be the turning point in whether the US will survive as a free nation.

100% agree. The results of this dirty trick could be a deadly civil war, if it turns out badly for our man Roy Moore.

If they are able to not seat a duly elected Senator, on the basis of an unprovable or undisprovable allegation stemming back to the Carter administration (and, if there was some kind of crime committed, the statute of limitations would have run out during the Reagan administration), all for a "crime" which is substantially less serious than the similar crimes which were ignored (Biden, Clinton, Kennedy, etc.), then it means that the concept of representative democracy is dead, in the United States.

There is no other way to interpret this. This is not just Alabama. If they can ignore the voters' selection in Alabama, they can do so in any state. And since they are using such a flimsy excuse to do so, they are essentially saying "you can only vote for representatives that we approve of". At that point, democracy is finished.

If the left (and I am including virtually the entire "Republican" party in the left, since that is truly where their allegiance lies) succeeds, and America simply ignores it (or, worse, comforts themselves with "oh, at least a Republican got in, even if it wasn't Alabama's first choice, and that means Trump will get some judicial nominees through"), then it is all but impossible to see what would cause middle, normal, America, to decide that they have simply had enough.

I said last week when this broke and McConnell jumped in immediately and the GOPe piled on, that this may be our Fort Sumter moment.

The beltway has removed any doubt that Congress is one Uniparty determined to deconstruct our Sacred Republic.

Judge Roy Moore is right, we are in spiritual warfare with the left. Good versus Evil. Fight on Tide!
