Repubs are in process of destroying our democracy.

They have chosen to ignore the laws and the Constitution for what they perceive as political advantage.

They have looked the other way as their President breaks every law imaginable. They promote his lies and defend his actions at every turn.

They have wiped their feet on the Constitution. They have shirked their responsibilities as a separate branch of government to hold the Executive Branch accountable. They have joined with Donald Trump to tear down our institutions and to weaken our democracy.

They have failed to defend our laws. They have watched the leader of their Party collude with a foreign country to influence our next election and use extortion to get a foreign leader to find dirt on a political opponent.

They have found ways to defend that same leader who refused to inform them of anything before he decided to assassinate a foreign leader and put our troops in danger and put our country on the verge of another war in the Middle East.

They have weakened our country at home and abroad. They have done great damage to our country.

The 2000 and 2016 General Elections illustrate Republicans’ content with minority rule, along with their penchant for gerrymandering, disenfranchising voters, and making it more difficult for citizens to vote – such as unwarranted voter ID laws and opposing early and extended voting.

The citizenship ‘question’ proposed for this year’s census is the most recent example of the right’s desire to undermine the democratic process by undercounting the populations in blue states, California in particular.

Their goal is to create a white minority ruling class, immune from the will of the majority of the people.
