Oct 2019

Republicans hope to make this go away by suppressing the truth. Covering it up. Denying it. Projecting. It is oppressive to coerce others by promulgating and defending lies. The American people deserve to know how their government and country has been stolen. We Democrats, our leaders in Congress, are there. But we have a lot of work to do to overcome this shroud of lies that protect Trump and the entire Republican Party.

I am not confident of our chances. One little noticed outcome might be that it all fails, that Trump is reelected, but that the public just grows tired of it all and their style of governing fades over election cycles. Call it a backup wish-plan. We are in uncharted territory.
