I remember my father's fight for democracy – and what he might think today (Viewpoint)

If my father had lived past 86, this year would have been his 99th birthday because he was born in 1925. Given the election results and some fear for democracy itself, I wonder how my father, a lifelong Republican, would have responded to Donald Trump.

I'm wondering about this because Trump has promised to destroy the constitution (dictator on day one), abolish elections (the last time he will be allowed to vote), imprison his political opponents (the “enemies within”), and be an ally of To become Putin's Russia (end NATO). .
