"If we continue on this path, we are on the verge of a totalitarian, bigoted, racist, misogynistic and anti-science society."

Ms. Redifer it's the Jeff Flacks that have created the environment of a totalitarian, bigoted, racist, misogynistic, society. Because it's the ESTABLISHMENT, of which Flack is a member, that believe they are better, and it's the establishment that is complaining the most. While NOT doing the job they were elected to do. What's anti-science? Climate change. Honest science doesn't fit the template.  I was told climate change was ANY extreme weather event. Honest science will tell us no extreme weather event then, is climate change. Can't have it every which way. However the left always wants it every which way. A majority of Americans, in states, supports Trumps views, that why he won. Your admiration of Jeff Flake is commendable, however Flake is not willing to fight for you and your views. Flake would rather hit and run.
