Former GOPer. Civil discourse & critical thinking desired. Truth is essential. Politics, economics, philosophy, history, phrases & quotes with some humor, wit & sarcasm. The chaos of the next 2 yrs will prove necessary to finally correct this MAGA mess.

As we think back to the time a President of the U.S.A. tried to stop the transfer of power (that sets us apart) and overturn a fair/free election, think about this. It would have taken only 10 more GOP Senators, and we wouldn't be living this chaos and madness. If McConnell only backed up his words.
