Thank you Anthony, I appreciate your kind words! Like you, I hold out hope as well, although it appears that hope will have to be fulfilled at the general election as the MAGA GOP "base" in the primaries seems to have totally consumed the Trump "Kool Aid" and will follow him all the way to enslavement in a dictatorship. It's amazing how deceived they are! It will be difficult to wait all the way to a general election, but it is my hope that the remaining electorate will clearly see what a second Trump presidency means in terms of devastating our nation and changing our form of democratic government without the consent of the governed. However, we wouldn't be the first nation that willingly handed over our freedom to an authoritarian based on his lies and campaign promises which he never intends to keep (except for the ones involving revenge and retribution). I remain optimistic that the majority of Americans already see or will see that what Trump is selling is nothing more than an old-fashioned con job- that "he alone can take care" of us better than we can take care of ourselves. I don't think Americans will buy that line of blarney.
