The Destruction of the American Republic
A republic is a form of government in which the state (or country) is ruled by representatives of the citizens.
Democracy – a system of government by the whole population of a state (or country)
Monarchy- a system of government in which all major decisions are made by a king,
Monarchy is the most efficient. A problem comes up. What shall we do; ask the King.
Democracy is the least efficient. A problem comes up. Ask all the citizens – an e******n is needed. In 2024 we are still arguing about the 2020 e******n. Nothing gets done.
Citizens in a Republic can get their questions answered, their needs met, or changes made in several ways. They can get their issue on the b****t. They can convince their representative or senator to create a bill and get it passed. They can advertise on social media, newspaper, talk radio etc. They can stage a protest.
When any of these methods are suppressed, the Republic is shredded. “Journalists are the enemy of the people” Obama’s judges were not approved; his legislation was not even brought up for a v**e. Two Supreme Court Judges were installed by nefarious methods. Trump promises to shoot protestors. The following groups are being investigated. DOJ, FBI, CIA Merrick Garland, President Biden, Anthony Mayorkas. These groups and individuals were once held in esteem. Now right wing congressmen are questioning their work or trying to impeach them.
THIS WEAKENS THE FABRIC OF OUR REPUBLIC.
For years several TV personalities have polished the art of fearmongering and inuendo.” Caravans of thugs are invading our open border; They are bringing in drugs and crime. Big cities run by Democrats are hotbeds of crime. I******s (not a word) are being given food, t***sportation, etc.” I think you mean immigrants who have come into the country legally. There is always a small grain of t***h that is twisted. Every Democrat is a c*******t ; every Mexican is a rapist. As a result, the country has turned into two warring parties.
THIS WEAKENS THE FABRIC OF OUR REPUBLIC.
Once upon a time, we could debate our opinions in a civil manner, not create civil war. Once upon a time in a land far away, when someone made a public statement, we took for granted that it was the t***h. Someone heard someone say that Democrats are k*****g babies after they are born. No examples, no references, no explanation but it becomes gospel t***h. Meanwhile anything in the mainstream media is f**e news. Now I for one, do research from several sources to try to get at the t***h.
THIS WEAKENS THE FABRICC OF OUR REPUBLIC.
Mr. Trump has made an art of mocking people. He decimated his Republican opponents in 2015 by calling them names. His debate with Biden was deplorable. He thumbed his nose at rules, talked way past his allotted time and talked over Biden. This is not the act of a great person but the act of a bully. In the weeks before the 2016 e******n, he met with the owner of the National Enquirer to catch and k**l any negative stories about him. This is the act of a mafia boss.
THIS WEAKENS THE FABRIC OF OUR REPUBLIC
For the whole world to see and hear, the US president accepted the word of Vladimir Putin over the analysis of the FBI, CIA, and HOMELAND SECURITY. For the whole world to see, the US president pushed his way to the front row for a photo op. For the whole world to see, Donald Trump fell in love with Kim Jong Un. So much for “America first.”
THIS WEAKENS THE FABRIC OF OUR REPUBLIC
Donald J Trump is seeking total immunity because he was president. This would be a disaster and also a dictatorship. From 2016 to 2020 he demanded loyalty of anyone he hired, even though some were supposed to keep him in check. He has promised to execute his opponents, shoot protestors. He tried by a multitude of plans to overturn the 2020 e******n; he would certainly try to extend his reign in 2028. His MAGA supporters have built a golden statue with his head on it. At his word, the House Republicans shot down a bipartisan Border bill.
THIS WEAKENS THE FABRIC OF OUR REPUBLIC.

I'm 83.5. To me you represent one of the three things that occur when a great society begins to collapse, implode. There is an increase in child and spousal abuse, an increase in sexual perversions and many of the elderly the next generations depend on for sound guidance gets stupid as hell just like you.
