Too darn true!

We won’t miss our democratic republic until we have lost it and then it will be too late. Alas.

And once you’ve lost your democracy, nothing else will matter anymore.

Forgot the original “I’m not worried about democracy…” group. The "…I’m so worried about ‘right to life!’ group.

Heck with Cross of Gold, the democracy will die on the price of Gasoline!

…priorities…COUNTRY OVER PARTY❗️ PEOPLE!

Cue Joni Mitchell singing “Big Yellow Taxi”.

Don’t worry about Democracy? Go live somewhere without it for a year, and then tell us what you think. There’s a huge unfinished hotel in North Korea that has plenty of room for you…

THE FICKLE MIDDLE!!!!

Without that “democracy” thing.. you won’t be allowed a voice about those other things.

When the last one takes hold, the first five are out of your hands . . .

Dictatorial Republicans have zero plans except to make you more of a slave than you are already.

“You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.” — Joni Mitchell

As a matter of objective reality, the 2020 election was fair, free, honest, legitimate, and valid, and Traitor Trump lost badly. The only people who don’t know this are imbeciles or lunatics. Therefore, election deniers running for office are either imbeciles or lunatics—or pandering to them. (The troll Rikki, IF he actually believes the nonsense he spouts, is obviously one or the other. And I don’t think he has the minimum number of functioning brain cells to be lying on purpose……..) And once you lose democracy you almost never get it back.

What happened to good ole’ American worry about TERRORISM? Oh yeah, that has shifted from foreign to domestic now. Even though unregulated militias based on white supremacy was then, and is still now the largest terroristic threat to the stability of our Democratic Republic.

“There should be laughter after pain. There should be sunshine after rain. These things have always been the same. So why worry now. Why worry now” (Mark Knopfler)

Something like 70% of Americans believe democracy is in danger, but it’s only a voting factor this year for like 7%. All of those other things will ease in time but if we vote out democracy, it won’t be back.

Vote like your life depends on it. If the Putin fan club take over the USA, you might end up being conscripted to fight another stupid war like the Russians in Ukraine.
