Will the GOP ever turn on Trump??

John, it’s a foregone conclusion that Trump will run again in 2024. What we can’t wrap our heads around is that the GOP, even the members that voted to impeach Trump, are considering supporting his next presidential bid! CNN best described the GOP’s reaction to Trump-era lie…

The Big Lie is winning over voters (and we need to stop it ASAP)

Want to hear a fact that should be unbelievable? About 1 in 6 Americans believe that there is some way President Trump could be “reinstated” before the next election.   Considering the number of lies the far-right tells, it’s sadly not a surprise. But it is a democracy emerg…
