I know that Joe Biden is our legitimately-elected president. I know that the evidence is all on my side in this regard, and that Mr. Trump’s party’s embrace of his “Big Lie” is a direct threat to our democracy. I know those who control today’s Republican Party would lead us to one-party, authoritarian rule, buttressed by an extremely distorted version of Christianity.
I know that talk of “Civil War” comes from people who fear they cannot get what they want through the legitimate processes of our democracy because what they want is not the will of the majority of our people.
I know that white supremacists should have no seats in our halls of government
I know that the pursuit of truth about such matters as race, history, sexuality, and science, must not be constrained by politics and political power.
I know that fear—of others or of one another—in no way to make a nation “great."
