It isn’t hyperbole to say that 2022 will be the year where Americans decide whether we want democracy or authoritarianism.
If the budding fascist movement that’s taken over the Republican Party takes over Congress in 2022, it’s likely that an emboldened Donald Trump could win back the presidency in 2024 and kill democracy for good.
If the poem on the Statue of Liberty that urges the world to send “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” is to be more than empty words, President Biden owes it to refugees
