Winning At Any Cost

Yes, dissent went from the highest form of patriotism--including illegal actions to in effect overthrow an elected president--to sedition:

When November [2020] was just decorating the flagstones of D.C. with faded leaves, the Democrat cliques inside federal agencies were still touting their skill at undermining the White House in chats with reporters at bars where drinks cost more than most Americans earn in a day.

These members of the “resistance” had spent four years undermining elected officials while falsely claiming that they were entitled to do it because the 2016 election had been illegitimate.

Government officials boasted anonymously of undermining President Trump, members of Congress and their staffers helped protesters get inside to disrupt hearings, rioters who assaulted police officers and attacked federal buildings were bailed out by Democrat officials and celebrities who enlisted Silicon Valley and major corporations to support the riots.

By the time November was done, resistance had been rebranded as “sedition”. Storming Capitol Hill went from a passionate endeavor by Democrat activists protesting the Kavanaugh nomination, the environment, or some other lefty cause, to the single worst event since 9/11.

Black Lives Matter riots had besieged the White House and set fire to its guardhouse, while still being defended by Democrats and the media as peaceful protesters. The media agonized over photos of federal agents protecting the Lincoln Memorial as a sign of incipient fascism. Less than a year later, 25,000 troops occupying D.C. like Baghdad are being cheered by the media.

The insanity in Democratic ranks has to end. They are impeaching a former president, for God's sake!

Most Americans are thankfully not that insane (tip to Instapundit):

Most Americans do not want former President Donald Trump convicted in the upcoming Senate trial, fearing by a wide margin that it will further divide the election-torn nation.

Democrats took the White House and both housed of Congress. They now only seem to care about being on the might side of history. My satire efforts seem more like predictions now.

If Republicans get as extreme as the Democrats have become, there will be bloody street clashes. 

Only our enemies want that, whether Antifa/BLM and related domestic leftists (with few on the right with similar goals now) or foreign enemies.
