Challenge dictatorship

Since Jan. 20 with Donald Trump functioning as a dictator nearly each day, we witness the further erosion of our nearly 250-year-old democracy and our rule of law. President Trump now has purposely stooped to actually sending American soldiers against American citizens for nothing more than for disagreeing with him. In our time now, Trump’s behavior is our “fire bell in the night.” Our judiciary and our media and the Republican Congress must now stand up and challenge the authoritarian Trump and his loyal sycophants.
