Will fight like it’s 1776

He said Mexico would pay for the wall. Let’s take him at his word. Open a bank account and, as Mexico puts money into it, build that wall. When money isn’t in the account, let’s focus on impeachment.

All over the world he is seen as the Ugly American. They see him as a racist, bigot, bully, homophobe, a con artist, someone who hates Muslims; he doesn’t pay his personal debts or taxes and they say he’s Putin’s puppet.

Would you buy a German car if Hitler were still in power? Would you buy Brazilian coffee if the police were gunning blacks down on a near-daily basis? Would you buy anything from any country if the leader of that country were in power due to a fraudulent election that he helped bring about?

Americans stand for democracy, freedom of elections, power for the people, justice for all, including planet earth. That’s another thing, he is tearing down environmental safeguards, regulations, standards that it took previous presidents and Congresses decades to put in place. He is also attacking journalists and media daily. Do Americans no longer stand for freedom of speech? Are we going to give up all of our rights and national treasures?

We don’t have to give up our rights. We must fight like it’s 1776 because it kinda is. If we don’t fight for democracy now, we will lose it. We have a freak who praises Putin while denigrating our intelligence agencies. Why? I think because he’s deep down inside a fascist. Republicans must admit that they allowed this to happen; they’ve made a bigly mistake which must be corrected in November. Vote them out, vote the Dems in. Dems won that election. And it’s time for you to accept and publicly admit it. Give up praising Putin. Come back to America where you belong. It’s not too late but if you don’t snap out of your delusion, it soon will be. Help Dems save democracy now. Or your children won’t live brave and free. MARIANNE BEASLEY
