Dear Maura, thanks for the report. There are shreds of hope in your interviews. Maybe enough members of the Republican base will reject the "loud-mouth s.o.b." Trump in a Republican primary? It would be a mark of sanity and independence from cult-like, tribal thinking if they did. And is it possible the new GOP election volunteers will see that elections are run fairly? Or, sigh, only if they win? The fact that Arizona, the home of Barry Goldwater and once a solid Republican state, is now a swing state is in itself evidence of a potentially historic realignment. The ground is shifting under these people's feet and they don't quite know how to react. I will be watching on what I guess will be Wednesday or later before we know the outcome of the state's extremely close races.
Truth and facts really depend on from where one is getting their news. Where are all these people getting their news and how do they rationalize their ”theories” with the actual filmed footage and legal documents?
I completely agree that we all will play a role in making ‘things’ better (or worse). It all starts with an open mind and heart.
The death of truth & facts is at the heart of America's unraveling of democracy. Think back to Kellyanne Conway, Trump's advisor on her "Meet the Press" interview January 22, 2017, defending the falsehood about the crowd size attending Donald Trump's inauguration and calling it "alternative facts". It's now spiraled down into the growing cruelty of crazy conspiracy theories.
