Something to Think About
A majority of Republican voters support a candidate who wants to dismantle democracy so he can be President for life.
Why do they support him?
Because he wants to close the Southern border.
Why does he want to close the border?
Because record numbers of migrants are streaming in from Venezuela.
Why are migrants coming from Venezuela?
Because the President of Venezuela dismantled democracy so he could remain in power for life.

It might seem tempting to support an authoritarian leader if that candidate promises to make life miserable for people that you don’t like. But be very clear. Under an authoritarian regime, no one will be happy for very long, and no one will be safe. Ask the people of Venezuela how well it worked out for them.
When the authoritarian leader starts to make your own life miserable, it will be difficult to get rid of him, because you will have given up the right to free and fair elections. Think about it.
