The GOP has morphed from an “evil insect” into a full-blown “terrorist organization,” according to a recent Salon piece that accused Republicans and Trump supporters of seeking a war against American democracy, encouraging widescale violence against the left and minorities, and using “stochastic terrorism” to achieve their aims.
Titled “At last the Republican Party comes clean: It stands for terrorism and Trump, against democracy,” penned by staff writer Chauncey DeVega, the Monday Salon essay begins by labeling the Republican Party an “evil” terror group.
“In the year-plus since the events of Jan. 6, 2021, the Republican Party has morphed, like an evil insect emerging from a chrysalis, into its final form: a terrorist organization,” he writes.

DeVega, a senior politics writer for the left-wing online magazine, criticized the GOP for refusing to “purge” those Republicans who “supported, endorsed and participated in Donald Trump’s coup attempt,” accusing them of “completing the ‘legal’ part of Trump’s coup, even after the illegal part had failed (at least in that moment).”
“Although that coup attempt was not successful, the campaign against American democracy continues and is escalating, largely undeterred,” he added.
He also accused Republicans of pretending “to be legitimate partners in the very system of democratic governance they are working to destroy,” as well as adopting the systems of “authoritarian pseudo-democracies” by allegedly passing laws to hinder Democrats from winning future elections.
“Emulating the systems of authoritarian pseudo-democracies like Russia, Hungary and Turkey, the Republicans want to replace a system of ‘free and fair’ elections (however imperfect those have been in practice) with what experts describe as ‘competitive authoritarianism’ or ‘managed democracy,’” he wrote.

again? Oh noes!
Pffft.
Salon
DHS beat you to it.
Both full of cowpie.
I thought Salon went under about 2 years ago. They’re still a thing?
This is good.
Leftists showing their true colors mean more people will figure out who they really are.
The name is a compliment. It means we are winning, winning, winning!
Wow they are getting more desperate..they know they are done
Translation:
Those mean old Republicans are trying to make it harder to cheat!
I didn’t get the memo!
So uh... Salon... how about the Democrats who embraced the destruction of the cities and attacks and burnings during the summer of love of 2020 and even aided and abetted them?
Doesn’t that make the DNC, YOUR party, the party of terrorism and hate?
Your lies won’t sell anymore.
Several stories about this subject have come about lately. Call congress.
Who cares?
Salon supposed to be out of business....
So was Newsweek:
Newsweek Sells For $1 To Stereo Equipment Mogul Sidney Harman. (2010). Harman agreed to take on the millions in debts for the failing leftist rag. But notice it, too is till around.
We should try to drive a stake through the magazines’ hearts.
All the things they are in fact doing.
Maybe. I keep hearing this, that their back is up against the wall.... they’re done for now... they’re running askeered.
Then they move their agenda forward.
Could be everything is right as rain for them. And we’re becoming known as insects, unclean, terrorists, racists.
I seen this movie before, and didn’t like the ending.
Hope I’m wrong about this.
Rhetoric like this and others coming from the left make me think that a wave is coming across the American people. This level of hyperventilating seems to point to the dying gasp of an ideology.
And more, they have no idea that this kind of talk is escalating their demise…
The more unhinged they become, the more you know you are correct.
Happens EVERY time.
Completely biased to the progressive left. One of their stories right now is McConnell wants Trump indicted., garnering support for McConnell to go this way. They are the ones who are demonic. They want any way they can to keep Trump from getting elected. Personally, I think Trump should drop the Jan 6 talk. There is trouble abrewing there.
That’s really bad because Salon is such a forceful powerhouse of respected journalism/SSSSS👈are those enough sarc tags?
