President Donald Trump seems to be counting on the fact that many Americans are too busy to bother paying attention to what is really happening in this country, hoping that you don’t realize or just don’t care that his agenda is to become a dictator.

Just look around you and maybe listen to the real news. This country is in utter chaos. Over 191,000 Americans are dead from a virus that other countries with reasonable leaders have brought under control. We have fallen out of favor with our allies around the world. We have had mass shootings and civil unrest, and in my opinion, he continues to fan the flames on purpose. And he is even causing problems at the post office, maybe in an attempt to interfere with the upcoming election.

This is happening in Trump’s America because he and the Republican Senate won’t address these issues. If he is elected again, I think it will only get worse.

Joe Biden, on the other hand, has real plans to address many issues, unlike the Republicans, who seem to just bow down to Trump and do whatever he wants.

This election is a referendum on who we are as citizens of this nation. Please reflect on that before you vote. What do you want — a democracy or an autocracy?
