There have been many things that took place over the past few years that I couldn't believe.

In 2016, I couldn't believe we would elect an unfit candidate as president. We did.

Year after year, I couldn't believe that president could get any worse. He did.

In 2020. I couldn't believe the president would deny the outcome of a free and fair election. He did.

In 2021, I couldn't believe the president would encourage his supporters to storm the Capitol to prevent the newly-elected president from taking office. He did.

In 2024, I couldn't believe the Republican candidate for president would make violent threats against Americans, call his political opponents "enemies from within," and vow to be a dictator on day one. He did.

So here we are.

Yes. I believe.

Thank you again, Ken, for the passion, strength, and honesty....and the recognition of the grave danger and the need for all of us to resist. It is so inconceivable to me that listening to Trump himself and his Maga and Stefanik that people here in our district would support what he says he will do--that they will actually vote for him. What do they hear and not hear, what do they believe and not believe... Your last quote is exactly right: "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil if for good people to do nothing." Probably most of us would not have the courage of Navalny, but we all should resist in all ways possible....for the preservation of our good earth, democracy, for our children, for morality. At this point those who vote for him--not just his Maga and Stefanik --are complicit... in wilful igrnorance or greed or hatred....Thanks for your strong voice and strong feeling for freedom....
