These people have held a knife to our throats and a gun to the heads of out children. They have a track record of political extermination, and they're not going to stop until we meet the same fate as the Rockefeller Republicans: extermination. Initially politically, but it won't take long for them to get around to making it literal.
Go full bore at the right-wing organizations using the Republican Party as their vehicle. The Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society should be treated as seditious organizations, as well as all of their funders.
Have you ever read old anti-communist propaganda? From the first Red Scare, about a century ago now? They warned about how the commies would take control here, by using the rules of our system to put themselves in positions of power. And once enough people were in position, especially positions to enforce the rules, they'd start enforcing the rules on their opponents, but not on themselves, and use that leverage to take total control.
The Republicans have turned themselves into the literal Red Menace. Their guiding light to taking total power is Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
