The above statement could be justified independently on several grounds. But probably none is more compelling than Republican denial of climate science. Republicans are literally attempting to destroy the world, forever.
The motivation for this short diary is the fact that I'm discouraged that so many on the left do not rally around President Obama. He is our guy. He is fighting the enemy. Of course he's not perfect, but look at the other side! (And there are only two sides in this fight, like it or not - Democrats and Republicans.) Today's Republican Party exists SOLELY to serve the interest of the very wealthiest people in our society. Not the top 1%. The top 0.001%. That's who they serve. And they're willing to do anything to protect and serve those extremely wealthy people, at the severe expense of EVERYONE ELSE. This includes attempting to stop people of minority races from voting, specifically black people, as we saw so much in last year's elections.
I'm afraid that Republicans WILL destroy the world if we allow them to remain a major party much longer. Therefore, we need to convince as many potential-Democratic voters that Republicans are dead WRONG on EVERYTHING, as soon as possible, in order to dramatically compromise Republicans' ability to destroy the world.
Our activism on behalf on Democrats must be motivated by this truth: Republicans are THE enemies of humanity. Given the urgency of our present situation, we need to agree on this as soon as possible, as a start.
