More fundamentally, the Democratic Party is now illegitimate. We should stop treating it as a normal political organization. We conservatives have played by the rules, trying to hold our country together in the face of increasingly radical and irrational conduct from our political foes. Those days should be gone. The Democratic Party is now exposed as the enemy of freedom, democracy and the rule of law, and should be treated accordingly.

Yesterday was one of the worst days in our country’s history, the worst, I think, since 1861. I do not know whether we can survive the lawless regime that the Democrats have thrust on us.
