Democratic Party
May 1, 2022:
GOP has a rightwing extreme and Democrats have a leftwing extreme. The problem with the GOP is the that rightwing is leading them and they have no clue where they are going.
And Liberal left wing didn't plan an insurrection then ignore it when it became violent..then embrace it again when they thought the coast was clear. Utah Democrats are endorsing a Republican that isnt an extremist like Mike Lee in order to get Lee out of office. They understand that Democracy is at risk. We are in high percentiles for a second Civil War maybe as early as November 2022 with Part 2 of Jan 6 2021.
