Dear Gary,
Fortunately we have a democratic/ republic government. No where do I see a dictatorship or king listed in our Constitution.
I know since the republicans have a majority were getting our way allot. Not much different than when Mr Biden was ruling…..
In three years the whole thing goes up for bid again but if the Democrats can’t get back the the middle they won’t have a chance.
Unfortunately I strongly believe it’s beyond the point of business as usual and thinking the next election will decide whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge. I tell myself over and over that maybe…just maybe…I’m over-reacting then the Trump Administration makes another over the top move down the path of authoritarianism. The man is unstable and the people around him are drunk with power and greed and supreme arrogance…I do not believe they will allow another free and fair election. There…I said it…and I believe it to be true.
