GOP Lies Fan Flames

To the Editor: Only a small percentage of Republican voters believe the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection was a traitorous attack on our democracy. The vast majority or Republicans in Congress continue to promote the big lie to their constituents that the attack on the Capitol was a legitimate rebellion against a stolen election. Most of these Republicans know it's a lie, but they value their cushy and profitable political careers more than they value the truth, the rule of law and American democracy.

There is no way for our country to "heal" and bring both political parties and the divided American people together until we crush the Republican treason led by Donald Trump. Americans who value our way of life desperately want a bloodless political victory over Trump and his traitors, but we have to be honest and realistic, and looking back at the Jan. 6 attempt at a coup by the Trump Republicans, we may face a bloody civil war. Such a war may be sooner than we may think at this time, and if we don't believe it, just look at all the death threats from the domestic terrorists on the radical right wing.
