To the Editor:

The longer this administration, the Republican Congress and the so-called “base” persists in desecrating the institutions of our government – attacking the free press, trampling traditional American values and ignoring all the lies emanating from this amoral White House – the closer we are getting to a total breakdown of civil society. (Just what Russia wants?)

A year ago it was easier to “agree to disagree” than it is now. The base is baser.
