Note to GOP "Leaders"

Here's a nugget of wisdom from someone who has been there and has the tee-shirt, too.  While this has to do with the ChiComs' persecution of the Catholic Church, there is a parallel in today's political arena.

...[Fr. Fahy] joined the Jesuits, went to China, was ordained a priest in Shanghai in 1945, and found himself in the district of Yangchow in 1949 — when the Communists arrived there.

Their first target: the Jesuit school.

"At first we were left pretty much alone while the Reds dug in," Fahy wrote in a first-person account Life Magazine published in 1952 (and that is now available online).

"That summer, however, our school, the Aurora Preparatory, was taken by the Communists, both students and teachers being subject to an increasing barrage of dialectics," he wrote.

They demanded "church reform."

"Catholics were everywhere pressured to prove their 'patriotism' by cooperating," wrote Fahy. "There were the naive few who thought it possible to concede an allowable inch when the Reds demanded a yard. Theirs was always the loss, and a bitter object lesson to a watching Church. Today it is now clear that there are but two choices: capitulation — or heroic defiance no matter what the cost."...

It's not a stretch to compare the Communists with the Democrat Party, although the Democrat Party has not (yet) conducted mass exterminations of civilians.  However, the Marxist tilt of the Party--and its penchant for totalitarianism--are clearly warning signs.

The lesson:  don't give them an inch.  Trump was pretty good at NOT conceding.  He got re-elected for that, and no, we are NOT conceding otherwise.
