Keyword: “de facto”. The GOP is lacking leadership just as badly as the Democratic Party is. (I’d go as far to say Biden is a better Republican leader than he is a Democrat.)

It’s frightening to observe the assumptions people have of others based on headlines and video clips representing a small fraction of an immense community. What you read in “the news” and on social media does not represent the majority of Americans. If we don’t take the time to get to know each other, we are most certainly barreling towards a civil war. I mean, sure, lots of people are stupid but stupid doesn’t equate to evil and oppressive.

We’ve already seen the pushback by republicans on abortion legislation and book banning and it was the Republican party who tried to keep Trump off the ballot. Trump and fascism does not represent the GOP.

Unless you’re willing and able to get to know people who have different opinions than you and sit down and have a real exchange of ideas, you’re not a solution, you’re a problem.
