If Republicans come to full power, Senate, Presidency, (and the Supreme Court which they already own), do you really think they wouldn't want to destroy all opposition.

Your question is like asking Jews who decided to leave Germany before it was too late if they regret doing it, or Black slaves who courageously headed North in an attempt to escape, were doing the right thing.

And anyone who thinks "It can't happen here" should take a look around and be damned worried about our freedoms, our democracy, and our very lives. And you can add to that, millions of hateful bigots who would welcome a return to slavery.

Reconsider posting about people siding with those who could/might destroy their fellow human beings? I don't think so.
