Follow us to join the pro-democracy community. The Right has a dangerous, vast media propaganda machine. We're fighting back. We're right. They're wrong.
There is no compromise on democracy. We are one, or we are not. Today's authoritarian-embracing GOP will not defend democracy. We will. We are right. They are wrong. Join us.

This is a unfortunate, disgusting, irresponsible, and treasonous commentary made by Fox News' Greg Gutfeld, and should not be tolerated by the Network, or America. It is rhetoric like this that has our democracy in peril. Shame on him.

In the following tweets, I will transcribe everything he says in this clip, because it goes into some very dark territory.

This filing in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News is one of the most remarkable documents I've ever seen. Filled with private texts between Fox stars like Hannity and Carlson, plus Murdoch, all admitting they knew Fox's stolen election claims were lies.
Trump is fighting for TikTok harder than he ever fought for a damn thing conservatives cared about.

Tucker: There are so many unanswered questions. Some of them lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don't know and don't expect an answer tonight.

Okay, James, we get it. That'd be a no.

@TheRickWilson
says Republicans who thought they could marry-up with Trump to get ahead and "consciously uncouple" once they got what they wanted really needed to read the prenup. The GOP is finding out Trump keeps everything.
A bullet fired at our democracy's heart was dodged in Trump's failed authoritarian coup. But celebrating that as democracy defeating autocracy is like dancing in the middle of a firefight because one bullet missed you. The authoritarian GOP didn't surrender, they changed tactics.
On Jan 5, 2021, GOP members were conspiring to interfere with Congress by creating chaos to serve Trump's quest for power, against the wishes and interests of Americans. Two yrs later, now in control of the House, they're chaos agents again in service of their own power madness.
