Why has the Republican Party become an enemy of democracy? The Saturday coffee klatch

Friends,Welcome back to our Saturday coffee klatch. This week, Heather and I try to figure out why the Republican Party has become an enemy of democracy — refusing to fund Ukraine against Putin’s aggression, supporting Trump’s invitation to Putin to attack other European countries and his threat to leave NATO if he’s reelected, and giving legitimacy to attempts to substitute scripture for law (as did the Alabama Supreme Court in deciding that embryos are “children”) and embrace white Christian nationalism. So pull up a chair, grab some coffee, and, if you wish, take our poll. This is a public episode.
