It used to be that America was the shining beacon of democracy and freedom in the world. We used to be a country of high ideals and noble causes . We are now a country of petty grievances. We are about me first. We are self absorbed. We ignore the real issues like high drug prices, corporate price gouging, infrastructure, poverty and out of control gun violence. We are going to let both Israel and Ukraine down. What message does that send around the world.

We are a country run by ill willed and immature children. They can’t focus on solving any real problem that doesn’t have a quick fix. They want to destroy what they don’t understand. They can’t work with others. They don’t honor their commitments. My way or I’m not playing. We elect people based on messaging instead of substance/competency. We have a large population of lemmings who refuse to make sense of the nonsense spewed at them.

I’m beginning to believe we no longer deserve the freedom we have enjoyed from our democracy. Apparently our elected officials don’t either or are too spineless to stand up for it.

We are only a year away...Republicans saying out loud dictatorship is okay. Democrats, no real counter, just the sound of crickets. They whine. Where is Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries out there with the counter message?

Biden/Harris are not a winning ticket. We can’t rely on crossover republicans to save our democracy this time. The far left have to realize that they will have to compromise or totally become irrelevant under a dictatorship. This is a fight for freedom that will affect everyone, we need to act like it.
