I am afraid that Kyle Rittenhouse and Madison Cawthorn are the future of the Republican Party.

I am afraid that most Democrats and Republicans are not prepared to deal with what that means.

For example, "Joe Biden should compromise with Susan Collins and Mitt Romney" makes the tiniest shred of sense.

"Joe Biden should compromise with the party that supports Kyle Rittenhouse" does not make any sense.

"We should break up the two-party system to deal with the threat of the Republican Party" might sound hyperbolic.

"We should break up the two-party system to keep supporters of Kyle Rittenhouse out of the White House" sounds a bit more plausible.

Republican elected officials and elites are absolutely responsible for enabling and collaborating with the fascist movement in their midst.

But the establishment wing of the party has lost control of the mass movement. Trump is just the first to lead it. There will be others.

There can be no unity with the party that supports Kyle Rittenhouse.

There can be no compromise with the party that is complicit with attempts to overturn the results of our elections.

Until the GOP accepts democracy for all, they shouldn’t be considered a legitimate party.

For example, Sen Chris Coons (D-DE) says Democrats can work with Republicans - as soon as Trump accepts the election results.

Why would Senate Dems work with a party that's actively seeking to overturn the people's right to choose our leaders?

Corporate Democrats often criticize progressives for being "unrealistic."

But progressives realize the GOP is the party of Cawthorn, QAnon, and Trump -- even after the election. Corporate Democrats want to compromise with a party that doesn't even believe in free elections.
