A Year Later

 A democracy in which one of the two main parties is in thrall to a man who has no respect for law or the Constitution and is willing to lie, cheat, and ignore common decency is on the brink of losing that democracy.

When people like Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, and Lisa Murkowski and the Minority Leader of the House and the Minority leader of the Senate are afraid to speak out, what examples are they setting for the rest of the country.  When state legislators in Pennsylvania call for a “forensic audit” for the presidential election but are quite happy to take office as a result of that same election, the cynicism drips off their slimy fingers.

When half or even more than half of a political party’s adherents think an election has been stolen, even though Biden won by over seven million votes, those people are either sheep following their leader or stupid or willing to trade common sense for power.

If anything, we are worse than we were on January 6, 2021.  I no longer have much hope for this country, but I will not give up, and I will continue to speak and vote and write and fight back to the best of my ability.  I hope you will to do the same.
