"...this dream we call democracy." Funny thing, I've never considered it a dream, because all my life it has been a reality, for me, at least, and I am grateful to have had the security of feeling that, whatever the truth or the true reality. For all the reasons you so eloquently listed, I am no longer certain of our future, and that is a jarring wake-up call.

The rabbit hole is getting pretty deep. But here in Alaska, just maybe, we can elect more moderate people. I hope lots of people can read your piece and give some people another perspective that needs to be shared. Thanks for writing it.

We do agree, it is truly sad. My only hope is that our country survived wars in the past, and people came together. I pray the coming together will happen in the future.
