Inflation, high gas prices, police funding, and abortion are some issues being debated this election. These are not new issues. The freedom to openly debate these issues and the peaceful transfer of power makes America great.

One issue seldom mentioned is democracy itself. Some candidates are leading us down the road to tyranny. Should this happen, these issues will not be debated; they will be answered for us. Should these candidates win, will they use the Justice Department, the military or the Proud Boys to enforce their doctrine?

The “Greatest Generation” fought tyranny. Will history record that this generation will be declared the “Worst Generation” by accepting tyranny?
