Angelo Codevilla, "Our Revolution's Logic," in The American Mind published by The Claremont Institute:
"Prior to the 2016 election I explained (After The Republic) how America had already “stepped over the threshold of a revolution,” that it was “difficult to imagine how we might step back, and futile to speculate how it might end.” Regardless of who won the election, its sentiments’ growing “volume and intensity” would empower politicians on all sides sure to make us nostalgic for Donald Trump’s and Hilary Clinton’s moderation. Having begun, this revolution would follow its own logic.

What follows dissects that logic. It has unfolded faster than foreseen. Its sentiments’ spiraling volume and intensity have eliminated any possibility of “stepping back.”

The Democratic Party and the millions it represents having refused to accept 2016’s results; having used their positions of power in government and society to prevent the winners from exercising the powers earned by election; declaring in vehement words and violent deeds the illegitimacy, morbidity, even criminality, of persons and ideas contrary to themselves; bet that this “resistance” would so energize their constituencies, so depress their opponents,’ that subsequent elections would prove 2016 to have been an anomaly and further confirm their primacy in America. The 2018 Congressional elections are that strategy’s first major test.

Regardless of these elections’ outcome, however, this “resistance” has strengthened and accelerated the existing revolutionary spiral."

People like this insane Waters woman are fanning the flames of the "spiraling volume and intensity." She and other insane leftists refuse to accept the peaceful transfer of power and a Constitutionally appointed Associate Justice. This is not going to end well for our poor Republic. Or us.

Someone called Maxine a terrorist, I forget who, but that’s exactly what she is...

The left are in an all out do or die war against America, the Constitution, & the rule of law. They are traitors-domestic enemies-enemy combatants, and they should be treated as such.

Freedom is always a breath away from
tyranny

It’s 1859 all over again. But if we win again this time, the Democrat Party should be exterminated like the NAZI party.

I agree, unfortunately.

85 percent accept Trump as their president. Same as with other presidents.

Social media just shows the hatred more quickly and in higher numbers.

This is not going to end well for our poor Republic. Or us.

Or maybe this is just what we need to correct the damage the left has been inflicting for a hundred years. Eliminate the vermin once and for all then make new laws to make their return as difficult as possible.

From time to time the blood of tyrants and patriots are needed to water the tree of liberty. -Thomas Jefferson.

Let's make the tyrants bleed until the correction is complete.
