I fear the coming months are going to see a constitutional crisis. It's going to be a very contentious and perilous time for our democracy. The Mueller team seems to be closing in on Trump's White House, just as Democrats take over the House. My prediction is separate from my opinion on the investigation. It's doubtful the indictments are going to stop with Cohen, Flynn, and Manafort.
Most of my Republican friends are good people They are not devoid of generosity and humanity like the cartoon characters we summon each election day. Their moral compass and sense of tradition are solid. They live lives of integrity, honesty, patriotism, and respect. They are profoundly unlike the President.
They probably know this, but I want to tell them that their party has been hijacked by some awful, self-serving people. This country is heading in a scary direction. And this country needs Republicans to take a clear and dispassionate look at what is going on in the White House and take their party back from the abyss.
We need both parties to be less partisan and stand again for a stable and united America. However Trump leaves office, the Republican party will be in disarray and up for grabs. It will be a mess. A look at the events surrounding the California Democratic Party indicates there are some parallel issues on the Democratic side. Whatever side you occupy, be vocal, get involved and push your party's leaders and elected officials to run towards the legal and ethical high ground. Our Democracy may depend on it.
