Jason Johnson: GOP a dimestore front for a terrorist organization

Dr. Johnson is Morgan State University Professor of Global Communication and Journalism. He helps us to realize the gravity of our situation and what we must do about it NOW.

"Well, the first part is the Democrats have to recognize that they're actually in war, right? This is, this is, it's the old untouchables thing. If they come with a knife, you gotta come with a gun. They come with a gun, you gotta come with a cannon. Like, the Democrats are still operating as if this is a two-party system. It is not a two-party system. I've said this hundreds of times, Nicolle, with you, there's, there's no Republican party. It is a dimestore front for a terrorist organization. The Democrats have to stop functioning as if they are working with or trying to compete against another party. The Republicans have bought the Supreme Court. The Republicans have said that they explicitly do not care about using violence to influence elections. The Republicans have consistently passed laws to make it difficult for people to vote. So Democrats have to recognize that they don't need any sort of comedy or kindness. They need a wartime consigliere to get through this, and I don't know if they've necessarily realized that. That's step one.

"Step two: Use the language of combat. Republicans have been doing it for twenty years. Say, 'We're going to war against bigotry. We're going to war against fascism. We're going to war against a guy who tried to overthrow your country. We're going to war against the incompetent people who run this place.'"
