Just a few words is all it takes for any republican to stand up for freedom and stand up for democracy. Despite that, surprisingly few of them have said anything in favor of traditional USA values. Those that have said anything have limited their words. How can so many people -- collectively quite powerful people -- be so terrified of being called names that they self-muzzle?
World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, The Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq. These are wars in which Americans have fought and died to defend freedom and democracy. The USA is currently living under the final days of donald trump's time in power. A few words from republicans that echo the judicial rebukes that have been graciously handed out to trump's ever-shrinking legal team would go a long way to helping our democracy recover from the harm that has been committed against it by the trump family.
We're not asking the republicans to go into battle. We're not asking them to risk their lives. We're asking them to remind their supporters what freedom and democracy mean. We're asking them to tell the truth.
