CONFUSING (4/02)

What's happening? Where are the letters and opinion columns warning us all of the imminent decay and destruction of the United States as a result of the Biden election and left wing socialist conspiracies? Surely the Constitution itself is at grave risk from the recent elections? I am sure Gosar and Townsend, Ward, Fan and other Republicans will vouch for all those patriotic Americans invading Congress bedecked with flags trying to preserve a Republican majority and the election for their beloved leader. If only they had succeeded then Arizona Republicans could now all be sitting in power saving the country from Antifa and the hordes of Marxists eager to steal taxpayer money and burn Federal buildings. Surely the million-odd Trump voters in Arizona are not hesitating to give their money to support these patriots? Now we're worrying about infrastructure when we could be enjoying more exciting accounts of the corruption and the lies and legal battles of the administration. Life is getting dull. Perhaps we need another pandemic. At least, I suppose, we can now boast that we have an Arizona variant of COVID-19. I read more people are moving to Arizona. What are doing wrong?
