PREMISE: The Government under Trump&Co. is more Authoritarian than any Democratic Administration or Republican Administration ever.
The United States is a Federation, and power is divested to the states and municipalities. This and the Separation of Power are the genius of our Constitution; the Framers and signers of COTUS were opposed to a Monarchy with the power solely in the hands of a King.
The separation of power thus limited the power of the Executive, a power which has been abused by Donald Trump; an outlier of any prior President. Trump has cobbled together an Attorney General and the leader of the Senate to support Trump's lust for power. With the collusion of Barr and McConnell they have packed the federal judiciary with Federalists who are today supporting an Imperial Presidency.
The final power to support and defend the Constitution is left to the voters. Donald Trump is a megalomaniac ( a person who is obsessed with their own power ) and our Republic cannot survive if he is reelected.
The good people of Kentucky must not send McConnell to another term to the Senate. Like Trump, he has abused the power of the office, an office of trust which he too abuses. Both conservatives and liberals have seen this one man use the rules of the senate to roadblock legislation solely to defend his political party, and thus his personal power too.
As a Democrat I'm not alone fed up with the abuse of power by Trump, Barr and McConnell; all three are corrupt as are their fellow travelers.

It's past time to put single wedge issues away, and to support and defend our Constitution in the words and spirit by your vote. The deeds of McConnell, Barr and Trump repudiate the Mission and Vision Statement left to us in the Preamble to COTUS:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
