I, too, fear for our republic.

We are passively allowing the destruction of our democracy.

But I disagree that the sickness is expressed well

in that listing of Governance vs Politics.

It conveys a cynical view of politics

that to me is part of the sickness.

No matter how many manipulative scoundrels

Lyle can drum up to justify his cynicism,

and there are many insinuating themselves into positions of power,

I will hold up many, many more true political leaders

whose vision, courage and self sacrifice

have challenges and led us

and the people of many other countries

through the centuries.

Politics is a noble calling

and so is governance.

They are inseparable dimensions of our democracy

and great leaders are found in both dimensions.

We are in trouble because dictatorial demagogues

have taken over key positions in our government

and banished true political leaders

like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

We must turn back this tide.

Thank you for doing your part

to inform and encourage and strengthen us

to solve our problems in democratic ways.

Lots of people pointing out problems. Anyone discussing peaceful solutions?

For the past two years we have been trying to find solutions to our biggest problem: THE CORRUPTION OF THE SYSTEMS THAT GOVERN OUR LIVES.
