7. Unfortunately, apathy will be our downfall.

How we have come to this sad current state of affairs is due to not only Trump unleashing his band of merry idiots upon us, but numerous states that have allowed self proclaimed fascists into their ranks of elected officials. While there should have been, and is still desperately needed, is acceptance to uphold our Constitution, which has slipped into obscurity - which if not religiously accepted disqualifies someone from running for office.

Even more sad and disturbing is that these idiots have convinced enough people to vote for them. Far too many in this country have no idea how their lives will change under Autocratic rule. Do you like your guns? Get prepared for far greater scrutiny. Like to read? You will be able to, but it will be only what “they” allow. Do you like to travel at your discretion? Maybe, but not without your “papers.”

Are you ready to contribute part of your earnings, beyond taxes, to the supreme (🤪 leader? Do you want to leave the country without being rounded up and shot if you don’t fall to your knees and kiss the supreme leader’s ass? Dream on.

Far too many knowledgeable people are espousing our decline not as a possibility, but as a reality, UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING NOW!

Wake up, Garland! Wake up, Biden. Wake up, Manchin! Rid the House and Senate of insurrectionists now or fucking suffer in the new reality of Fascism. Stop states from altering our elective process NOW! If you have to carve out the filibuster to save our hard fought democracy, then DO IT!
