One of these things just doesn’t belong.

Or it could be that twice nothing is still nothing. More people believe the “Big Lie”? More than are tired of Trump? More than the ones who voted against Trump?Who will continue to vote against Trump & Co.?

Once upon a time the vast majority of this country was openly racist. Once upon a time women couldn’t vote, blacks were 3/5ths if a person, and only white male landowners held the franchise. And yet we still had a democracy; we still had a republic. We improved on those weak beginnings. We aren’t that imperiled now. We aren’t losing all we’ve gained now.

We aren’t going backwards. Not now. If the GOP won’t put Trump in the past , we’ll just have to put the GOP in the past.
