Paul Ryan and Dick Cheney

 It is interesting to see who has stepped up to support American democratic values.  A number of people I once thought of as irredeemably evil have shown that they support our democratic values in the face of Trump’s attempt to subvert the Constitution.

Former majority leader Paul Ryan has denounced the Republican congressional effort to deny Biden his electoral college votes, calling it an undemocratic and anti-conservative action.

Dick Cheney gathered living Secretaries of Defense to issue a joint statement calling upon the military to avoid getting drawn into a political battle.  They are worried that Trump might actually try to orchestrate a military coup.

On the other hand, many of my neighbors continue to display their Trump signs.  It is good to know who among the people in my area either hate our country or have no understanding of how our government is supposed to work.
