Up until the recent release of the Mueller report, I think most of us knew the Republican Party breaks the rules in order to stay in power.
For those in doubt, just take note of the overt attempts by this party to suppress voter rights, jam through two Supreme Court confirmations and gerrymander electoral districts, among other things. And these underhanded attempts are not just historical, they continue to today. However, the Mueller report has exposed how fervently desperate the Republican Party has become and that it will do whatever it takes to keep the majority.
President Donald Trump can boast about “no collusion” and his self-proclaimed exoneration, aided by his attorney general, William Barr, but the Mueller report clearly illustrates that Mr. Trump welcomed the assistance of a foreign government to help him win the 2016 election.
Let us try to digest this for a moment. Russia, a country that wants to destroy our democracy and undermined our electoral process, made efforts that were encouraged by Mr. Trump and his campaign to help them win the 2016 presidential election.
Make no bones about it, this is as serious as it sounds. The Mueller report is the first beacon of truth that we all, as Americans, should take vital notice of. To put winning above protecting our country is dangerous at best, but it even treads on being treasonous.
