3. The lack of definitive action against a clearly corrupt administration

makes our government a joke. A mockery. A complete sham.

This failure to act exposes the complicity of those who would rather feather their own nest than to protect the tenets of our democratic republic.

They have weakened our democracy and left us open to greater abuses from a criminal president.

They have chosen to sacrifice all things good about America to make prosperous all things bad.

They have long ceased to be the other political party who still shared the values of democracy and have, instead, morphed into the opposition - period. They have become the enemy to the principles of democracy, operating contrary to the rules and laws that govern our nation, eroding the strength of the republic; taking aim at the heart of our country - the people.

With their lies and revisions, with their embracing of the prolific liar and criminal currently in office, they have waged war on the citizenry. For power and personal gain - they have not only warped the ideals of liberty and justice, but have actively sought to bend the minds of the people to accept governmental actions that are alien to the bedrock of our foundation; a subversion of the national character enshrined in the Bill of Rights, and hard fought for and won by the people to secure the "blessings of liberty".

They seek to rule the people and not govern by the will of the people.

They have, in short, become traitors to America. Not mere blips and glitches along the way to forming a "more perfect union" but impediments to progress - to realizing the full measures of freedom and equality.
