Stephan:   I'm sorry, the two political parties are not equivalents, and their behavior is not equivalent. The Republican Party actively undermines democracy in America with voter suppression laws and, now, this vile nonsense. Almost every day I find -- or am sent -- stories about absolutely treacherous behavior on the part of Theocratic Rightists. I don't mean the usual partisan nonsense we see during election. There is real danger here. I haven't run these stories because I hadn't wanted to get SR embroiled in partisan shouting matches. But it is so consistent that it has become a trend. I have never seen its equal in my life time. Citizens need to speak out against this. Make your voice heard, sign petitions, go to rallies. But most important of all: Vote against people who do such things!
