"Government of the people, by the people and for the people---": that's DEMOCRACY, folks.

You know, "the worst form of government---except for every other form".

I grew up understanding that th his was a "given"; my birthright as an American. I cannot tell you how deeply it disturbs---ANGERS---me that one of the major political parties in the United States of America is preparing to abandon democracy in order to achieve a short term political advantage.

Republicans or Trumpies or MAGAvolk---whatever they are now---fit my definition of "traitors". They are willing to destroy the America we all grew up in and welcome in an era in which might makes right and winning is worth WHATEVER it costs.

I will never trust or respect anyone who flies a Trump or MAGA flag.
