(58,785 posts)The behavior of the party controlling congress is extremely alarming. They're supposed to be a check on the power of the presidency, but virtually all are obeying a man who would be an authoritarian dictator. That huge protection of our democracy is broken and serving its enemies. The vote will save us -- or destroy us.
And I never forget the nations that voted to destroy their democracies. We blame the enthusiastic right-wing Nazis in Germany, but no doubt they couldn't have done it without the aid of others, including those who "lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity" as Yeats put it.
I'm far from Wyoming, but will throw in that each vote there is worth just a bit less than 3 in more populous Georgia, where a third of the populace is black.
