Republican leaders undermine democracy I assume that political leaders are intelligent, educated and informed. Should we assume that when they share disinformation, they are lying? Republican leaders know enough about medical science and research to understand how the COVID-19 crisis needs to be addressed. Now, Republican leaders know that there was little/no voter fraud. They know that Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris won. They know that Wisconsinâs elections were free and fair. But Wisconsin Republicans continue to share propaganda and lie to constituents about 2020 elections. Their hostile partisanship, aggressive refusal to listen to/follow scientific recommendations, and negligence in serving and protecting our own citizens have cost lives. Their actions and inactions have killed Wisconsin citizens.
