Radical Republicans threaten our democracy

There continue to be real threats to our country, our democracy and our future. Many people are unaware or just ignore the forces that are currently threatening our future. We have endured a pandemic, years of fake news, presidential forces that result in destroying political norms. And from a “businessman” who people thought could lead the country after four bankruptcies, infidelities and thousands of lawsuits. Now he considers Putin’s efforts in Ukraine to be brilliant?

We need to understand who our past president was, remember what his lies about the pandemic were, his lies about a free and fair election which put Biden in office and his continued destructive narrative.

It is time for rational, bipartisan efforts to move forward, away from the damage inflicted on all of us over the last five years.

The Republican Party has decided that power is what is more importance than democracy and they will do anything, whether legal or not, to control our country. This is a situation we must avoid.

This is a call to action for the moderates to convince the radical right wing folks to help save our democracy! Believing in Trump is the wrong way to go!
