It is so good to see this, republicans are speaking out against the Trump cult. "Don’t sit quietly and surrender one of America’s great political parties." 'GOP Democracy Report Card' 'Which Republicans supported American democracy when it needed it?'accountability.gop/report-card/"The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing." Caroline Kennedy "First, democracy is more than holding elections; it requires the development of civil society, meaning such complex and counterintuitive institutions as the rule of law, an independent judiciary, multiple political parties, minority rights, voluntary associations, freedom of expression, movement, and assembly. Democracy is a learned habit, not an instinctive one, that requires deep attitudinal changes such as a culture of restraint, a commonality of values, a respect for differences of view, the concept of loyal opposition, and a sense of civic responsibility." Daniel Pipes Reading: 'Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America'

You Go Liz! 'Cheney stokes GOP rift with 'big lie' rebuke of Trump' “The 2020 presidential election was not stolen,” the Wyoming Republican wrote.' www.politico.com/news/2021/05/03/liz-cheney-donald-trump-gop-feud-485215"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one. If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed. Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise." Hitler’s Control of the Masses, Mein Kampf
