As a democratic socialist -ironically - I can only caution " liberal " Democrats to take their own American Constitution seriously. President Donald Trump WON the 2016 election. Despite the flaw of an undemocratic Electoral College it was still a LEGITIMATE- if shocking- political victory for Team Trump.

The Democrats who think some dark Putin/ Trump conspiracy invalidated the election are lacking in common political sense. And they now sound so much like the Old Nixon of the McCarthy era - themselves promoting this odious and brainless New McCarthyism.

The New McCarthyism will inspire more deranged acts of individual political terrorism. Until the DEEP STATE weighs in ? Who voted for the CIA, the FBI, Homeland Security ? Who voted for the military industrial complex - with middle aged generals and admirals longing for another stupid world war ?
