Yes, OboeGal, I agree with their assessment. We currently have a banana republic which is a dictatorship or an absolute monarchy; that is the problem. But what is the solution? Many of us are unwilling to accept a banana republic as a permanent way of life and would like to return to Constitutional norms. In other words, we would like to keep the republic that Benjamin Franklin challenged us to keep.
The solution in the short term is to get out the vote, in a way that is indisputable. The solution in the longer term is to examine and repair our political system. The last 2 republican presidents have not been elected by the people.
