Republican pols aren't the problem, as repulsive as they are, [View all]

It’s the 40% of Americans who tolerate their anti-American nonsense and Fox News that promotes the Neo Nazi right wing agenda. I am constantly amazed about how many so called patriotic Americans refuse to reject Trump, DeSantis, and their ridiculous policies such as banning books and racist voter suppression. I am starting to lose hope for the future of this country. I often think that in prewar Germany there had to be good and decent people who were horrified by Nazi policies. Are we there?
