We saw it with our own eyes. But still, it’s hard for any of us to truly admit what we all saw. January 6 it was the MAGA wing of the Republican Party out to end America. Today that wing is their only wing. Every Republican in Congress is now complicit in covering up the crimes of Donald Trump. Each is putting party over country in their efforts to return him to the White House.

There are those who say you can’t blame Republicans for who they vote for. That’s nonsense. As a Cook, as someone who gives of yourself to care for others, you’ve earned the respect of those around you. All this year, please use that respect to remind anyone you fear might be thinking of voting for Donald Trump that they were raised better than to vote for someone undeniably out to end America.

That goes for voting for his Republican enablers in Congress as well. Every Republican in the US House of Representatives voted to move forward with impeaching Joe Biden on zero evidence of presidential wrongdoing. Their only goal is to buy cover for Donald Trump and to grease his pathway back into the White House.

Once the Republican party was about freeing the slaves. Once the Republican party championed conservative values of honesty, paying debts, defending democracy and promoting family values. Now it’s just lies, bankruptcy, dictatorship, and cheating. Dang.

There will be time when we all can come together and mourn the loss of a once-great American political party. Sadly that time won’t be this year. This year instead we will be saving America. Today being January 6 is a better day than most to commit to what this year must be about. American democracy matters. Let’s roll up our sleeves and save it.
