"The Republicans have been doing their darndest to keep America terrified" implies that the threat is not as serious as they say it is, and that if the Republicans weren't in charge, we wouldn't have anything to be terrified about.
Your side was the one that screamed the loudest about why our government hadn't protected us, or hauled in a bunch of people legally in this country for taking flying lessons while Arab.
