Never imagined I would see one of the major political parties in the US actively trying to dismantle democracy. Get out there and VOTE BLUE, people, if you want to see representative democracy survive.
History shows that democracies don’t last long. But none have ended so ignominiously, brought down by a mob of mouth-foamers led by a pusillanimous megalomaniac… very sad.

First of all, please ignore the reactionary trolls. None of them are intelligent, none of them are honest, none of them are patriotic, and at this point I’m wondering if any of them are even SANE. They are simply junk people. Second, it wasn’t only patriotic Americans who watched the mob of traitors attempting to overthrow our democracy on January 6th with shock and horror (while having complete and utter contempt for the traitors). No, civilized people of all nations also watched the attempted coup with shock and horror (while having complete and utter contempt for the traitors). The problem is, with the worldwide rise in nationalism, extremism, fascism, and demagoguery, there aren’t enough civilized people to go around…..
Seeing all this from a distance, difficult to fathom patriots trying to institute autocracy as their system of governance… Those crying loudest for freedom are trying to bring about dictatorial controls… Somebody please explain to me how any of this makes any sense — maybe the cold up here has frosted my brain!
Those who fancy themselves as champions of democracy must stay mindful of the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene was democratically elected with almost 75% of the vote.
An anthem, (an antidote?) for this and every Novembersing it, share it: (SoundCloud link below, 2”)Everybody blue, everybody blue, everybody blue, this time, everybody blue.
Everybody blue, may be hard, it’s true, what we have to do, this time,everybody blue.
If your faith will abide, we can turn the tidevoting side by side, this one time, everybody blue.
Not just me and you, everybody blue,yes, no matter who, just this once, everybody blue.
Yeah, might make ya blue, turn your head askew. Think what we could do, this time, everybody blue.
Everybody blue, everybody blue this time,everybody blue-sky blue,turquoise blue, sapphire, cobalt,navy blue—everybody blue.

Public Service Announcement for Those Who Have Not Yet Made a New Year’s Resolution
Here’s the thinking behind trollish comments. The troll can dash off a quick one-liner — never more than a dozen words, half of them insults — post it in several dozen places, then sit back and watch sane people waste their time composing well-reasoned paragraphs in response. Then the troll might throw another occasional 1-liner into the conversation to spark another spate of time-wasting restatements of obvious facts, cogent logic, and sensible reasoning, with the bonus that some of those will actually quote the troll’s own words, thereby giving them yet another public exposure. The real bonus comes when the trollish comment gets so many responses that it gets promoted to that strip’s “featured comment” of the day, where it’ll be the ONLY one that 98% of the visitors to the strip will ever see.
In the coming year, resolve not to feed the trolls. It only encourages them.

It is too sad that there are people that believe a one party system under Democrats is still a democracy.

Americans are too lazy to maintain a system of self-government. It was only a matter of time until someone used that against us.
