America faces its greatest peril since the Civil War

By Alon Ben-Meir - posted Wednesday, 28 June 2023


Indeed, the Republican Party has become naught but an organization dedicated to tearing down whatever vestiges of decency remain in this country. This is not the Party of Lincoln that chose to preserve the Union at all costs, but the party that chose to destroy it and would worship the devil, the likes of Trump, who will stop short of nothing to use the Republican party, just as the party uses him to reclaim power. This is the horror of this symbiotic relationship which poses the greatest menace to America today, which must be arrested.

Trump has not only utterly corrupted the soul of this nation; he represents and epitomizes the moral, epistemic, and spiritual decay of America. He is the single most naked symptom of our ruination as a country that values truth, justice, the rule of law, and the light of reason.

If the Republican Party continues to travel this perilous path, it will be tantamount to political suicide, and they have Trump to thank for the party's demise as we know it.
