President Biden said what I have been saying for days, weeks, months, years and even decades, right up to including that Putin has canceled his nation's progress and participation in the 21st Century, and "“For God’s sake this man cannot remain in power.”
I have also said this about our own nation, with statements that Republicans have been killing our potential, taking us backward and that each recent Republican president and many of their elected officials "“For God’s sake [they] cannot remain in power” or even close to power. The same should be said for FOX.
I lay awake at night thinking about what my next letter should say to my Trump loving siblings when everyday practical issues, maintenance and solutions are thwarted by conspiracy theories, lies, misinformation some of which they know, but claim it's for a good cause, just like Putin says it's for a good cause.
Am reading about Maine families sending their sons, fathers and husbands off to fight the Civil War to save the Union. Even women went to tend to the wounded. Some men went to join the Christian Commission to provide religious support to soldiers. They didn't pray for cruel violent victory and domination. They prayed for a quick end to the war and for the injured, suffering and dead. They witnessed heads, arms, legs, hands and feet blow off or cut off in surgery. The witnessed death and dying by illness and disease like typhoid. They drank from mud puddles on the march in hot sun, because they were without water. They wrote home and kept journals. They were Bowdoin and divinity college graduates, lumbermen, fishermen, lawyers, and ministers. They had traveled the world or much of the United States living in Maine to Minnesota to Gettysburg. They had a foundation in and sense of responsibility for democracy that many Americans today seem to be unconscious of.
I have no idea how to reach unconscious Americans. Many of them don't read or talk, let alone deal with anything that doesn't entertain, comfort and protect them from challenging thought and physical sacrifice.

“Unconscious Americans”. How often I have thought such
