ANALYSIS and OPINION:
The crucial U.S. Senate race in Maine. Platner versus Collins.
Control of the the U.S. Senate and ultimately Congress is at stake. Freedom loving Americans simply cannot allow Fox News and the right wing media distract their attention from the primary and urgent need to ultimately impeach and remove Trump from office if we want to save our democracy. Republicans have repeatedly shown that they will not stand up to Trump and will give him what amounts to dictatorial powers. We must put an end to Trump/GOP’s perversion of our cherished democracy right now. If our democracy is destroyed, given the immense powers of billionaires (now trillionaires) with robot armies and the government’s ever increasing ability to snoop on us, we will NEVER get our democracy back. While many may argue that Senator Collins is more of a centrist and is more likely to “buck” Trump than most Republicans, nevertheless, Maine voters can no longer afford to vote for any Republican (no matter how reasonable and rational they are) because it makes Republican control of the Senate (in this case) and/or the House (in other races) more likely. If the GOP continues to control either or both chambers of Congress, Trump will not be stopped and he will undoubtedly operate on the fringes of the law and the Constitution will seize and/or grab more and more power.
