All evil men mostly have others do their dirty deeds. Putin sits in the safety of his own country and watches. His ill-trained forces are due to Putin and his oligarchies having most of the country’s wealth. Russia’s own people are starving because of this. Why doesn’t Putin personally go and shoot some Ukrainians himself? Maybe the blood and guts, the moans and children crying will change him.

How can anybody look up to Putin? Side with Putin? Have secret meetings and praise him for being a genius? It’s just like the mob sent on Jan. 6, the dirty deeds done. President Trump said he could shoot somebody and get away with it. A Capitol Police officer was called a murderer, but who sent the mob? All I can think about is the young officer in front of the doors getting crushed by rioters. He screamed in pain and agony. They still beat him with a stick. Did Trump feel sorrow or joy? There are those who think this behavior is OK and doesn’t matter? His supporters don’t care what’s right or wrong? His voters only care about winning?

The Republican Party attempts to increase their odds of winning an election by voter suppression laws, trying to change the outcome of an election, making it hard to vote or find a place to vote, gerrymandering, and stonewalling legislation. People voted for this behavior. These are all signs our democracy is coming to an end.
