Isn't our democracy worth saving?

 As I bang away on my computer keyboard, I know full well that my hostile rant is about as meaningless as an ant crawling up the hind leg of an elephant with rape on its mind. 

But, like I have no good sense, I preserve. 

Our rule of law has failed us. Our court system has failed us. And, our government is now failing us. 

The U. S. House of Representatives has been handed over to the very same MAGA crowd that tried to overturn our government on Jan. 6th. The newly elected Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is the guy who planned and orchestrated the move to decertify the 2020 election of Joe Biden. He is so far to the right, even Genghis Khan would have to look to his right to see him. 

There is no longer a viable Republican Party. There is but a distant memory of the once-Grand Old Party. It is hard to remember that they were once  one of two major political parties in America. If there are any members still alive, they have been bound and gagged by now. A man named Trump has given voice to the antigovernment rag-tag street thugs who have been waiting for their time in the sun, and they just won't give up and go away. . . mainly because the puppet master, himself, won't go away! Any resemblances to the old GOP doesn't exist.

So, our U.S. House of Republican misfits are in charge of the asylum and one can only imagine what they have in store for America.  A few items already mentioned are:  No further aid to Ukraine and a nation-wide ban on all abortions (with no exceptions). 

We are being bamboozled by a relatively miniscule number of democracy-haters who are - for some strange reason - in charge of us!

Or are we just not putting up the proper defense?  Are we so busy with our own lives that we can find fifteen or twenty things more important to do?

Let's get to work. Our democracy is well worth saving!
