Editor,

As a U.S. Navy veteran and patriotic citizen, I am very concerned with recent alarming statements made by prominent Republican figures such as Jack Posobiec. It begs the question: is the GOP truly aiming to overthrow democracy in the United States? Loyal Americans need to look further into this concerning issue and analyze the implications of such radical ideologies.

During a panel discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, conservative activist Jack Posobiec made a brazen proclamation, stating, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.” This shocking statement was met with applause and approval from the audience, signaling a dangerous shift in the mindset of certain factions within the Republican party.

The implications of advocating for the end of democracy are profound and unsettling. Democracy, with all its flaws, is the cornerstone of American society and a fundamental value that must be upheld and defended at all costs. To openly call for its overthrow is not only irresponsible but also inherently anti-American.

Does this mean that the GOP is an Enemy of the State?

Posobiec’s declaration raises the troubling question of whether the GOP has become an enemy of the state. By openly declaring their intentions to dismantle democracy, certain members of the Republican party are positioning themselves as adversaries to the very system of government they are meant to serve.

This rhetoric also calls into question former President Donald Trump’s recent statements about assuming dictatorial powers from day one if he were to be re-elected. The language used by Trump and his allies, including Posobiec, paints a dark and dystopian picture of America’s future under their rule.

In conclusion, the statements made by Jack Posobiec and others at CPAC are deeply troubling and require close scrutiny and condemnation from all corners of society. Democracy is not a partisan issue; it is a fundamental right that must be preserved and protected for future generations. The GOP must reckon with the dangerous path it is currently treading and course-correct before it’s too late. The future of American democracy hangs in the balance.
