HOW AMERICAN’ IS
AMERICA THESE DAYS?

This is a question that's been on my mind for
a while now. Probably ever since Trump got
[LHL RLS

The negative impact on the Republican party
since that time has been quite tangible. Yeah
they were about as obstructionist an opposi-
EE EE LE Re nr pweey
president. But he still managed to get a lot of
good stuff done. Just like Biden is now.

But it just seems like all you hear about are
Republican politicians doing really dumb stuff,
PE RR LR Rr Te Rat
is really stepping up to call them on it with only
Meghan McCain as the notable exception.

They have stacked the Supreme Court. They
are gerrymandering and redistricting the hell
out of all the red states. People are starting

to drop like flies over the election fiasco and
the hundreds of the rank and file psychos who
stormed the congress building on January 6 are
either in jail or on their way there.

Then you've got the Texas governor, screwing
up big time with his border inspections and the
Florida governor, trying to tear a strip of the
Disney Corporation over some totally asinine
Don't Say Gay thing. Good luck with that. Their
lawyers will have him for lunch.

| know this started a long time before Trump
showed up but the insanity he has infected the
Republican party with has taken it to an all ime
low.

And it really is starting to feel like there's

pitifully little America left in America these days.

Please tell me I'm wrong.
