The Republicans certainly have taken our country up to the edge of losing democracy, but a series of events (all of Trump's various investigations), placing sunlight on the 2019 Barr Memo regarding the Mueller Report is helping to pull us back from the brink that the Republicans have placed us in.

re: Fear

There is nothing to fear, but fear itself.

Fear keeps one aback and troubles one’s soul. The worst form of fear is the gloomy thoughts that create an eerie atmosphere inside one’s mind. It's a mental framework that should not be encouraged, as it has a disastrous effect on one’s courage and one's progress as being a fully functioning human and living in the present.
