Brutus' murder of Caesar didn't stop the end of democracy in Rome, so I'm not advocating that. What I'm talking about is a Republican who will vote to impeach Trump in the Senate.
Are we entering on a time when democracy is eclipsed? When a politician can only speak in partisand spin, then objective legal proceedings no longer can be objective. Where are the conservative and Republican critics to defend democracy? I know so many friendships and family associations that have ended because of this terrible time in American history. Where are the people who want to bring us together? America didn't want to be brought together with Obama, and we're proving that again by the embrace of Trump. Who is going to wake up and notice that the embrace of Trump is unAmerican?
In my life, though deep political divides have existed, the institutions of democracy have been solid. At present the balance of power is being challenged. Political scientists call this a regime cleavage. The very foundation of democracy is at stake.
