 While reading the two comments on my last post, I wondered why people are so hell-bent on destroying American democracy. Make no mistake, that's what it means when all audits and recounts and certifications to date show that the numbers for the 11/3 election are factual, but people are still focused on throwing out the votes of entire states. My quandary is that I cannot understand how anyone, let alone so many people, are willing to completely destroy the ideal of the US for...Donald Trump.

The United States fought a civil war that was horrific in many ways but the purpose of the war was at least substantive and that was true whether you were blue or gray. All of the high moral purpose of the anti-slavery crowd versus the states' rights cohort who may have been defending an indefensible idea at its core but were still fighting for an idea that was central to how the US was designed and ordered which was the independence of each state to make decisions. But now we will apparently be killing neighbors and relatives for Donald Trump. Given that I wouldn't cross the street to shake his hand my perplexity is understandable but what about the people who support Trump? Does Trump mean so much to you that you would kill your brother?
