Make no mistake about the facts, our democracy is in danger of becoming a memory. Trump not only colluded with Vladimir Putin to win the Electoral College, they have plans to convert our government into a form of totalitarianism called fascism. Republicans have embraced Trump’s single party rule; Democrats have been shunned. Trump is attempting to end the legitimacy of the free press and destroy free speech. FOX Noise is the right wing propaganda machine spreading lies and innuendos freely; alternative facts are replacing the truth for millions of uninformed Americans. Trump is interfering in our justice system to protect his crimes of treason, and his party has turned away from any protection for the American people. White supremacy is rampant in Trump’s administration as they remove the rule of law and replace it with new policies which harm minorities, and the poor. Trump’s administration is the most corrupt in American history; spending taxpayer money to support their lives of luxury and privilege. Trump’s administration is the definition of fascism.

First of all, none of this could happen if Republican politicians would do their job. Our founding fathers purposely created the legislative branch with more power than the executive or judicial branches. It would be easy to halt Trump’s efforts to become our first illegitimately elected monarch. They refuse to do the right thing under direct orders from their wealthy supporters.

Trump’s attacks on the judicial system are paramount for his efforts to destroy all democracy.

“Our President is more limited by norms than he is (by the) Constitution or law. It is the traditions of the office that keep the President, I think, in his lane. And one of those norms is the independence of the judiciary,” Hayden said on CNN’s “The Situation Room.”

If you love your country, and believe that it should represent all Americans, please vote in November and remove all traitorous Republicans from office. We have the power, but do we have the courage and resolve? We will know on November 7^th.
