We all really need to consider what we want this country to look like for our children and grandchildren.  IF we want 1930’s Germany, then we are heading in that direction and we can sit back and watch as our democracy withers into cobwebs that float away our special privileges of living with a Constitution that is  for everybody.  We must keep our founding fathers design for this experiment called a democracy and start the healing process , otherwise we WILL loose this fragile ,  all inclusive idea that has stood the test of time for over 250 years.  This will be a giant task of dismantling two administrations of an insane man and his minions.  Starting with his first presidency and lingering all too heavy on our psyches.  He has encouraged hatred, bullying, misogyny, xenophobia, male domination, the diminishing value of  women, people of color and the LGBTQ population.  His tactics are immoral , illegal and highly toxic.  This can be seen in the absolutely demonic idea of live streaming an execution.  The administration is calling this “ Restoring American Values”.....How in the world is that making for a better country?  How does this idea help us become more empathic and compassionate towards others?  Why would anyone in their RIGHT MIND want to watch another being shot?  Watching it doesn’t make the crime any more valid. We must restore a balance here in our country and it begins with voting our  conscience, our “soul” values, our intelligence, and our knowledge of what is right and what is wrong.  This is NO laughing matter, folks....we WILL loose our democracy if we continue voting for those who are in the political spectrum ONLY for their own benefit and for the money they get handed to them on a silver platter.  They are OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS!!!   OURS!!!! They work for US!  Do NOT forget that.  VOTE!!
