Donald Trump and his Merry Cult almost destroyed our Democracy.

They weakened our institutions and attacked the very foundations of our Democracy.

They attacked the forces of "liberalism", that they believed were destroying our country.

They surrendered their honor and integrity and chose lies and delusions instead.

Their grievances against our country were never clearly defined.

They followed their Cult Leader.

They chose conspiracy theories over facts. They chose to divide America.

It may take two to tango, but one Party brought its own orchestra.

The Democrats are attempting to repair the damage that has been done.

It is an ongoing struggle.

The "free press" has put up a resistant wall to challenge most of the propaganda.

Without the "free press", our democracy may have already collapsed, in my opinion.

Dont make it past tense.

Republicans have been doing all of this my entire life, over a quarter century.

I mean, watch the CNN special on "the comback kid" and that is just a surface level look of what they did to Bill Clinton.

They'd like us to focus on former guy and ignore them but we do that at our peril.
