Divided we Fall

The highly Divisive partisan Politics in the U.S. that has separated families and friends is now a major threat to Democracy and . . . the Republic.  One critical element driving this threat is the significant effort being put into obtaining Political Power and Control at ANY COST.  This is being done  by a small number of Politicians using anti-democratic policies and laws, and who are opposed by some moderate members of their own political party.
