Why on earth would Donald Trump want Viktor Orban, the autocratic leader of Hungary, to meet with him at Mar-a-Lago? Trump thinks Orban is a great leader and, like the other dictators, Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-Un, he seems to want to become one of them. And the thought of this doesn’t scare you?

Those aforementioned dictators, well, in my opinion, they themselves will use Trump as their pawn to destroy our great country. He wants to end ties with NATO and tell Putin he can have Ukraine, and then he’ll probably give China the free reign to overtake Taiwan. We need our NATO allies.

Women’s rights are being taken away, and that scares me, as it should every woman. We’re going backward in time. And maybe they’ll also take away the freedoms men take for granted every day.

You certainly can’t “back the blue” when you beat the blue Jan. 6, and, if you’re military and you participated in the violence that day, you certainly aren’t a patriot who promised to defend our country. You know what you saw with your own eyes that day, and don’t try to deny what you know is the truth.

I know there are true conservative Republicans who don’t associate with the MAGA crowd. They bow down and worship a man who has no business being president. You know what your gut is telling you. Make your vote count for democracy, not autocracy.
