I first heard Adrian Fontes, Arizona Secretary of State, in another YouTube video a short time ago, but then I recognized him in this video, which is a short segment of a longer interview (which I may or may not listen to in it’s entirety). I was impressed by his honesty and laser focus on providing fair & honest elections for ALL people, not just one party. And in this brief segment he spoke a truth regarding the political environment in which we currently live. He or I echo each other, but we are in agreement (although he doesn’t know me at all, and I only know him only from his videos).

I have to qualify many of my statements with a phrase similar to, “we used to be for…” or “America doesn’t, but currently does…” and this is what Mr. Fontes said that was extremely insightful, “We live in an America today, with a diminished democracy.”

And that a diligent person has to prepare for any and all “underhanded” (my word, not his) things that may be attempted to pervert fair and honest elections. **Donald Trump was “cheated” out of the 2020 Election. He repeatedly said that lie, while in the background he was emailing and calling and trying to “find” votes from a Georgia Election official. He was recorded on the phone saying something to the effect of, “Find me 11K +1 votes” so he could beat Joe Biden in Georgia.

*I am definitely drawn to the negative effects of the Project 2025 implementation changing our Democracy, not for the better to represent ALL people but to represent a select few (and for many of the core values, specifically “Christianity” I am in total agreement with them. BUT I am not in agreement that you can MAKE anyone a Christian by force, and am not sure that “they” even are trying to win others to Christ. They appear to only want to make damned sure that it’s America Only for Christians, and leave out any dissenting opinions.

— Why did religious groups, such as the Pilgrims, who were persecuted in other countries come to America? For the freedom to worship as they believed. But, with that freedom has to come the freedom to not worship at all, or in ways not perfectly in line with those “in power.” To demonize everyone, who is of “the other political party” is just so WRONG.
