I hope it is now clear to the Democrats that there is simply no working with the current Republican party. They have withdrawn from the compact to share governance. They are mutinous. It's time for Democrats to seize the day and get on with saving our democracy. The Republicans are a clear and present danger.

Mystified Canadian here.

Why are Matt Gaetz's comments not considered incitement to insurrection? Surely if Trump told a bunch of people to be patriots and march on the Capitol was incitement, telling a bunch of people that they have the constitutional right to take arms up against their government should be on an equal or worse footing. That rhetoric seems so incredibly dangerous. It's basically saying that voting is no longer a relevant remedy in the era of the Big Lie, so the only logical next step is armed revolt. Am I missing something? Granted we're a bit naive here north of the border, but holy cow!
