We have a number of problems. The large group of American people woefully ignorant and/or lacking a moral core.
They refuse to do their civic duty and will vote for a known treasonous criminal who will damage our country
even more than he already has.

It is really disgusting. These MAGAS are people who live in a wealthy country, and experience more freedoms than anyone in the history of the world. They have never really had a bad day, they don't even know what a bad day is compared to people who have lived in fascist countries or lived in wartime.

We also have Trump, the GOP, and Putin who are quite desperate and will pull every trick in the book to install Trump into the White House.
