It would seem that most Republicans believe that democracy no longer works in the US. Later this morning, House Republicans will hold a secret ballot No Confidence vote on their #3, Liz Cheney. She will likely be removed from her leadership post.
All because she will not stand down from her vocal opposition to the lie that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen. She virtually stands alone in her opposition to continued support of Donald Trump.
The saddest thing is that there are so many Americans that (whether they believe the lie or not) are willing to sell off democracy in order to support a guy that has won only one election more than four years ago (and didn't even win the popular vote). Under his leadership, the GOP has lost control of the House of Representatives, lost control of the Senate, and lost the White House.
For the life of me - I can't understand why the party continues to follow him and support someone that so blatantly opposes the Rule of Law and The Constitution of the United States.
I know there are few Republicans that follow me or read this blog, but I'd be interested in hearing from someone that can give some insight. Should someone weigh-in, no hateful comments or replies allowed.
Are our elections secure?
Does democracy work?
Or will every lost election be considered to be a "stolen" and illegitimate election?
