Just how bad is it ??

Are some of our Party leaders naive to the seriousness of what we are facing?

Are our people being intimidated, abused, beaten, and murdered?

Are our constitutional rights being threatened?

Are there masked, armed, anonymous militias, pretending to be law enforcement, patrolling the streets of our cities? Are they legal? How would we know?

How much should our leaders compromise with these threats to our rights and our very lives?

Some are making arguments that sound like the situation is not as serious as some others say it is.

Which is it? is it an existential threat or is it just a political issue where we need to compromise?

The current Democratic leaders seem weak and/or compromised. Maybe not the brightest bulbs in the package too... wcmagumba Thursday #1
