OUR DEMOCRACY IS DYING
OUR DEMOCRACY IS DYING
The direction in which this country is moving is both strange and disturbing. Since Trump became president the principles associated with our Constitution have been diminishing. And the separation of the three branches of government has become blurred.
The primaries have become a killing field for Republicans running for office who have defied Trump in some way. Who went against decisions Trump has made which were less than beneficial for the country. To run against these errant Republicans Trump has chosen to supply competition of his own choice with the population being represented having no say in the matter. Their only qualification to run for office is the willingness to accept any decision that Trump makes.
I wonder of the qualifications the candidates Trump chooses keeping in mind the qualifications of those he has selected to serve in his cabinet.
The job of Congress is to serve the people they represent. This has been replaced by fear of losing their job if they defy Trump. Our democracy has been diminished by a president who values himself more than the country he was elected to serve.
Fear has replaced duty in the Republications in Congress. The values associated with our country are disappearing and the direction our country is taking is beyond our control.
