Senator Murkowski appreciation post.

I thank Senator Murkowski for showing me how Republicans think and act. I needed to see the full truth and reality because.

The truth is that a Republican will push me off a cliff to catch a breeze of cool air and a ray of sunlight , rather than stand beside me. And, the reality is that republican voters will do the same. I get it now. Republicans are not and can’t ever be like me because greed, cruelty and lies are embedded I their hearts and minds.

There is no shared aspirations for our nation’s youth, our public lands, democracy or future. I dream of a future of safe housing and good jobs for all. Their dreams are of storm troopers throwing senators, mayors and farm workers and all of us to the ground. Kidnapping people, including US citizens . Perhaps for a cage in the swamp and eventually and trafficked to countries like South Sudan or El Salvador to die.

I hope every democrat also gets this, too.
There’s no longer a reason to ‘reach across the aisle’ to build consensus. There isn’t any.

Don’t bother discussing facts or imploring republican voters to support the rule of law or care about the lives of others. Republican Voters desire the freedom to exert brutality, power and control on anyone else. The country has fallen.

The USA is an authoritarian nation, with a police state and the end to civil liberties.

I will continue to support what was the aspirations of the founders and the US Constitution, as I do my best to help those in need. May all beings live in peace!
