with one side a Republican sect under the spell of an authoritarian cult leader ... Authoritarian cult? I think not.

The Republicans, incited by their former president, chanted "Hang Mike Pence!" during that storming Such utter bullshit which has been clearly demonstrated and testified to in congress .... how can one take any article or opinion piece offered by someone who gets their information from the controlled propaganda machine know as the mainstream media?

note: USA are a Republic ..... not a Democracy ....
