The Republican Party and its political shill the corporate media especially Fox Faux News FAIL to give the American public the rest of the story. There are many sides to our current political morass and some of it, perhaps much of it, is in reaction to toxic American foreign policy over decades perhaps centuries. I am convinced of it.
What you do not know about what your government is doing in your name particularly in the Middle East, particularly for oil and the power it brings may in fact dramatically hurt you, the nation and the world. In pertinent part it may get us all killed.
You must not be ignorant of facts, you must maintain your humanity and our majority must elect a government that promotes these ideals and NOT succumb to extreme fascist-like demagoguery of the extremist Republican Party in our midst. The politics of a Donald Trump and his supporters are a cancer flowing through the national veins. It must be electorally exorcised and separated from the body politic or we will succumb to its metastasis.
As Dr. Benjamin Franklin said in response to a question when he was asked during the creation of our Constitution: "Well, Doctor, what have we got a Republic or a Monarchy?" He answered "A Republic IF you can keep it!"
IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER THAT YOU KEEP THE PRESIDENCY IN DEMOCRATIC HANDS, TAKE BACK THE SENATE AND ERODE REPUBLICAN TOXIC INFLUENCE IN THE HOUSE. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT ABOUT YOU! GET OUT THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE
This is a running commentary on contemporary social, political and religious issues. From the Introduction of James Comey's book "A Higher Loyalty -- Truth, Lies and Leadership" "Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary" Reinhold Niebuhr
