Are Democrats “too dangerous to govern”?

By Mark | October 13, 2018

To all of the Republicans who have jumped on the “Democrats are a danger to the rule of law” bandwagon as a way of delegitimizing protest, and obscuring the fact that regular Americans have very real and legitimate reasons for being upset with their leaders in Washington, who are essentially taking health care from working […]

“Truth crushed to earth will rise again”
