Editor,
Our nation’s system of government stands on the cusp of change. We either choose Trump’s authoritative/dictatorial style of government or retain our democratic system of government. The Trump tirades have captured the imagination and support, home and abroad, of significant numbers of people these past years.
Many of our Republican legislators have been filled with fear of personal and family attacks by Trump’s base if they speak out against Trump. Therefore, opposition has become dangerously quiet. This is a very clear and present danger right now.
I do believe this “cusp” will resolve but this will take many months of reconciliation and proper leadership. Our democratic system of government once again can be our nation’s governing power.
My spiritual beliefs cause me to look for and believe in the goodness of human nature available to each of us. The most significant factor, during my human time on earth, is my firm belief that we each have been created in the image and likeness of God, which is love.
We need constant human expression in the healing power of this gift from God.
