A critical analysis and read in Dr. Richardson’s Letter this morning. Be sure to read the entire letter; this should frighten every American.
My take — We are witnessing the death of America, brought on by the far right who were empowered by voters who were too ignorant to understand. As Dr. Richardson points out (quoted below)
“…the Framers of the Constitution believed that the Senate would be the key guardrail to stop the rise of an autocrat who would destroy democracy and install himself as a king. They expected that the determination of senators to guard their own power would protect the nation. “
— Given the radicalization of the GQP, I do not see how that guardrail will hold. —

I keep reading article after article and opinion after opinion and I don't think it's helping. I guess this way I'm prolonging this whole election phase and delaying the acceptance of the result.
I'm not even American.
My heart is hurting for all American friends and strangers - many of whom are now in various levels of danger, for the world - given the things the guy himself has been promising to do, and for my children - who are new to this world.
I put them into it. 😢
