Your title is the absolute truth. Period.

As a previous Republican, I no longer believe the GOP exists. it is completely MAGA. They have demonstrated that again and again. So while I agree the fight is for democracy and the rule of law, Republicans = MAGA and they stand for authoritarianism.

I would have shared this with my 6K plus followers, but I won't because you included Orange SHITLER's picture.

Bingo... let's make him insane with polls stating he's loosing in red states..... of course it escalates his violence but reveals what a child he is... "you didn't give me the Nobel" how utterly childish and embarrassing

Thanks to all. It will take all of us, working together, to restore our democracy.

Thank you for the article, Mr. Eisendrath. I agree this democracy movement against freedom and MAGA. We must be able to turn up the heat , a bit. Minnesota knows this quite. We are in a pro democracy movement. Please subscribe to Lincoln Square. Make an investment in democracy.

"Anyone waiting for Chuck Schumer to save our country is a fool" Edwin writes. Nothing could be more true at this moment in time. But don't limit it to Schumer. I'm fed up with most of the Democratic party. The responses I get from my reps in Congress, Seanator Tammy Baldwin and Congressman Mark Pocan, when I contact them, is pure boilerplate. Look at what average Americans in Minneapolis are doing. It doesn't stop Trump. I protest with around 40 people in my Wisconsin town every Saturday afternoon, contact my reps regularly, attend meetings of a pro-democracy grassroots group, and am a volunteer poll worker--and guess what, that doesn't stop Trump either. So yes, as Edwin writes, we can't rely on a political party to save American democracy. But he stops short of stating what average Americans, without strong leadership and a focused plan, are supposed to do exactly. I'm open to suggestions.

Finally! I agree with every word, Edwin. I recently expressed this to my VT Senator Peter Welsh recently. Spread the word!

Well said, Edwin. Thank you for saying it exactly as it is. 😔🙏
