Our country is at a crossroads. In November those voters who appreciate the power of their vote will decide if our country will remain a democracy or become an autocracy. My uncle was a radio operator flying bombing missions out of England over Germany in WWII. His psyche was destroyed by the amount of death that he experienced. He turned to alcohol to dull the pain. These brave young men fought with their lives to defend democracy and defeat autocracy. Autocracy breeds monsters.
