Fascinating, from cultural & linguistic perspectives! You are reading many of the same sobering selections as many of your readers, I suspect. It is disturbing to recognize how many former conservative Republicans have become acquiescent to the process of rotting the USA from within, the ultimate goal - it appears - of the MAGA Trumpublican party.
I am writing a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst today, utilizing some quotes from Timothy Snyder. I was disappointed that she succumbed to the browbeating by those in her own party, with whom she shares many political views. Yet she will receive a letter today - though I am under no illusion that she will ever see it or be told of its existence - from someone with very different views: someone who asks only that she view her upcoming votes on Trumps farcical nominees with a more sober approach to her role in turning her homeland into an American autocracy - or kakistocracy, more accurately.
I hope she views her actions with a clearer precision than she did with her vote for Hegseth, perhaps with the clarity of your photographs.
Thanks for reading, Chuck, and for sharing the actions you are taking to stay engaged with elected representatives. I believe the actions of individual citizens matter. I hope more Americans will find a way to stay engaged politically, while sustaining moments of day-to-day joy and their overall health.
