    At what point should we declare the MI Republican party to be insurrectionists and disband that organization? It’s not like it was some low ranking officials.

      If it makes you feel better, the Michigan republican party is effectively dead. They lost every branch of government, their funding is pretty much dried up, they had abandon their longstanding headquarters and are now based out of a PO box.

      Their former leadership is gone, and now they’re run by an actual crazy person with a degree in Christian apologetics who insists the majority of voters are murderers for codifying the right to an abortion via ballot. They were an anti-vaxxer before covid, they think abortion is a “satanic ritual” and that yoga is a “demonic ceremony”.

      Just a week or two ago they made the news when two members got into a fistfight during a meeting, they’re a circus.

        To be fair, The Satanic Temple does claim abortion to be a religious right and has an actual ritual members can perform before they undergo the procedure.

      Which “we” are you talking about? I’ve already declared the whole Republican party a terrorist organization, but my declarations don’t carry much weight.
