I interned for a @GOP Member of Congress back when I understood that government was where compromise occurred.
That was the year things changed and birthed the modern, scorched earth @GOP.
We used to be able to agree on facts and just argue about how to approach.

Now, because they have whittled their own base down they have forced themselves to lie and cheat to win.
They have demonized Democrats through their biased media so much, that there are Americans who would rather side with foreign tyrants than members of their own nation.

They have fallen for the rhetoric of gun manufacturers so badly, they would openly threaten violence in defense of owning weapons of war.
They have claimed to be the party of morality, but yet worship a leader who is the literal embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Their legislative majorities are based on lies and manipulations. The majority of the people disagree with their goals. We must awaken those who have been convinced their votes don’t matter to vote no matter what. We must awaken all of the youth to fight for their future.

We need to do more than we ever have for the 2020 election. Volunteer, contribute, and get people out to vote.
We need to save our nation from autocratic rule by a minority group that doesn’t want what is best for the majority of its people.
