The WA GOP put it in writing that they’re not into democracy

Seems that there are red crazies even in a solidly blue state. 😒

A resolution called for ending the ability to vote for U.S. senators. Instead, senators would get appointed by state legislatures, as it generally worked 110 years ago prior to the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913.

“We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool,” was how one GOP delegate put it to the convention. “We do not want to be a democracy.”

They passed a resolution calling on people to please stop using the word “democracy.”

“We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy,’ ” the resolution says. “Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose.”

The resolution sums up: “We … oppose legislation which makes our nation more democratic in nature.”

Yes, that's what we need to do - let senators be appointed by dipshit legislators in the state government. That will end well... It's not like we already ran this experiment and saw the results.

Yep, take a trip up US 101 around the peninsula and you'll see plenty of Trump signs.
I had the distinct displeasure of being in Woodinville for lunch when a "Trump Train" rolled through back in 2020. I see folks in Safeway and Costco in their "Let's Go Brandon" and "Fuck Joe Biden" shirts, and just the other day an SUV with a Trump-DeSantis 2024 sticker on the back glass, that one must have a real hard-on for fascism.

That is almost as dumb as

- Deciding to be a career criminal and advertise the fact by putting on a leather jacket with a signature patch and ride a stereotypical loud bike for everyone to see and hear.

Biden dementia, but Obama is a Kenyan, but Kamala Harris is racist but Hitler was misunderstood but Putin is hero for democracy against fascist Ukraine civilian who have Hunter dick pics hanging on their walls

Because they know it’s a ridiculous thing for anyone to support.

Oh the resident shithead Trump party members might say they are opposed to it but they would still vote Trump party candidates in. There is no more Republican party, it is all the Trump party now. They are all complicit in evil.

I don’t put up political signs…you’re not going to change their minds…and, worst case, it makes your place a target.
I could have a major sign war with my neighbor, but I'd rather not go there.

Not sure if it's funny or scary that these clowns apparently do not realize that a republic is a form of democracy.

It’s a common right wing talking point now at every level.

If I were a conspiracist I’d say it’s because they don’t want their supporters to think of our form of government as a type of democracy so that when they usher in fascism it will be an easier sell/brainwashing.

Target for what? Vandalizing the sign? You know I'm no easy target.
Brother @Drach asked us not to give up. I intend to offer encouragement to those who are leaning towards doing the right thing, and get some solidarity in an outward show of that.
I know I won't alter the behavior of the traitorous puke crowd.

It's sad you're not sure by now. It's fucking scary and that's it. A bunch of Democrats lack the ability to realize the enemy at the gates. That's as not funny as the crazy things right wingers do today. Y'all will be like Moonbeam when the fascists come, except he'll be trying to talk to them about self-hate, and you'll be talking to them about if they're serious or not so you know whether to worry or laugh.

I think MB will have a firefight with them. But be at a disadvantage with no silencers or drum mags. Just my .02
