I'm missing something. The political dots aren't connecting, and we're not taking the Maga mess seriously enough.

It's been crystal clear since before the 2016 election that having Donald Trump in the White House was dangerous for this country's national security and for the democracy that is at the very heart of this constitution and government, and out identity as a nation. He's spent the time since the voters ousted him plotting revenge against his enemies and laying out a campaign to get back in that includes having political power unrestrained by a government of, by and for the people. He's been open and public with statements revealing his fascist intentions, sounding more like the European dictatorships of the 1930's than an American Republican.

His four years in the White House show a record of incredible inept incompetence when it comes to government service and leadership. He failed at everything he did, including nominating competence justices to the Supreme Court who would rule by the Constitution rather than by their political agenda. His negotiations with the Taliban, eventually leading to the collapse of the democratically-elected government in Afghanistan, kicking that can down the road and causing his successor to have to deal with it, border on treason. So do his meetings with the world's most notoriously cruel dictator, Kim Jong Un in North Korea, his attempts to blackmail Ukraine, for which he was impeached, and his dealings with Vladimir Putin. His COVID policy and dealings with that crisis bear the marks of criminal incompetence, and lack of concern for the lives of millions of Americans. But he's running again, is headed toward being the nominee of the Republican Party, and, if we believe most of the media's rhetoric, has a shot at being elected again.

Joe Biden has had one of the more effective Presidencies in modern history. So yes, I'm clearly missing something here. Because to me, this looks like a deliberate and concerted effort to control the election and determine the outcome, with someone behind it pulling the strings.

That leads me to this one question. What are we going to do about it?
