The past year and one half have demonstrated that the Republican Party has fractured into what one would consider traditional party values versus Trumpism. Trumpism seems to be some combination of ‘omerta’ as practiced by the mafia and traditional fascism and is ‘calling the shots’. Public servants are expected to honor the wishes of a demented narcissist instead of the oath of office to which each swears. This behavior is most prevalent in the FBI Director and the acting Attorney General but has manifested in the other cabinet secretaries. The efforts to control elections go so far as to misuse the Postal Service. Judges who rule against the misuse of authority are often ignored and always denigrated and their impeachment suggested. We are witnessing a system of laws being replaced by a system of presidential whim. Congress has not demonstrated the statesmanship needed to return to the Constitutional promise of our founders. We have hundreds elected to that body who care more about their largest campaign donor than about their constituents. This election year we should vote to return the power to the people. Has your senator or representative served you or Trumpism?
