Thank you Ruth, I so appreciate your intellegent expertise on these Authoritarian undemocratic tactics. Your knowledge, writings and zooms has helped me sustain my reserve, courage and confidence just knowing that their are many others sounding the alarm bells for what has/is happening and how to keep up and in the fight against it. I believe also as you that the gop/gqp no longer represents any policy or principles or party worthy or consistent with any democratic beliefs. Ron Desantis pulling his illegal right to know what any students political beliefs are at Floridas universities are just one precursor for their unconstitutional belief in their right to know besides what they are trying to do to our vote . Let alone Arizona allowing ballots to illegally be taken to outside premises. They do not care anymore ethically or legally which is the beginning of all fascist authoritarian regimes, inserection included of which one cannot even lose with dignity, ethics or continue and administer the peaceful transition of power. The only way for evil to continue is for good men and women to say and do nothing. Believe me, as you know so well the next one could/will be worse if that is even imaginable. Thanks again for all that you do and for being one of those that helps all of us feel like we are not alone and in this together.

Will be volunteering to be a poll worker next election, and find out other ways to assist the local county officials to have a fair, peaceful in our rural county of Oregon …. 2 to 1 Trumpsters and local militias bring their guns and flag (including confederate) covered trucks to polling places … thanks for the inspiration
