Boy howdy when you see it all compiled at once ...

The Jan. 6 insurrection and the run-up to it is perhaps the clearest illustration that Republicans are being more hostile and anti-democratic than Democrats in this uncivil war. Biden pledged to concede defeatif he lost the presidential election fair and square, while Trump never made such a pledge; many elected officials in the GOP joined Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results; and finally, Trump supporters arrived at the Capitol to claim victory by force. But there are numerous other examples of conservatives and Republicans going overboard in their attempts to dominate liberals and Democrats:

Republican officials at the state level have engaged in a sustained campaignto make it harder for liberal-leaning constituencies, particularly Black people, to vote.

GOP officials have used aggressive gerrymandering and attempted to manipulate the census-taking processto ensure GOP control of state legislatures and the U.S. House of Representatives, even if Democrats are winning more votes.Yes, Democrats have gerrymandered too. But due to a variety of factors — which party controlled redistricting in each state, the geographic distribution of Democratic votes, rollbacks and decreased enforcement of some parts of the Voting Rights Act — the scale and impact of Republican-led gerrymandering has been far greater over the past decade or so.

Trump supporters and conservatives have threatened not only to physically destroy institutions they view as hostile to conservative causes, such as CNN, but to kill or injure prominent Democratic politicians, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. And, in attempts to intimidate liberal protesters, these conservatives sometimes show up at Black Lives Matter demonstrations wearing military gear and brandishing extensive weaponry.

Trump, conservative lawyers and most Republican members of Congress tried to disqualify the election results in some swing states, which would have in effect invalidated the votes of millions of Americans, particularly Black people and residents of large urban areas. And, as mentioned earlier, that effort culminated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.

State-level Republican officials have tried to criminalize the types of protests organized by liberals who support Black Lives Matter and oppose the expansion of oil and gas pipelines. In fact, conservative lawmakers in Missouri and other states are considering provisions that would limit legal liability for people who drive into protesters blocking traffic.

State-level GOP officials have limited cities and other localities from enacting policies meant to reduce the spread of COVID-19, essentially preventing elected officials in cities (usually Democrats) from taking measures to save the lives of their constituents.

GOP officials at the state level are engaged in a broader effort to preempt laws passed in Democratic cities, meaning that mostly white GOP state legislators elected in conservative, rural areas are often determining education, economic and other policies for heavily Democratic cities with large numbers of people of color.

Clearly the most pressing need of the hour is tone policing Stacey Abrams.

Any appetite to try and move the needle with a Democrat here in 2022 will be in the governor’s race, especially if Kay Ivey doesn’t run again. There’s a tiny bit more opportunity there, although the blood-red legislature will merrily override any veto that comes its way.

I think that completely depends on who runs. Anyone reasonably sane will blow out Jones.
