where's the outrage?

Seriously where's the outrage? People are dying by the thousands every day. We have republicans focused on trying to usurp our democracy. We will have a staged protest not from our side in D.C. on the sixth of this month.

There should be Democratic leaders from Congress leading these protests.

So, I ask again, where's the outrage? or is the MSM just not covering it.

1. Why isn't the GOP working this hard to help the American people?

We are in dire circumstances.

Instead they are subverting democracy.

I agree, why is this not an outrage?

The A.I.D.S. crisis. Those are two just off the top of my head. Would you like more examples?

AND the idea of facing off with people armed to the teeth and crazy isn't like a protest with any sane and rational opposition.

It's like going to war.

And the leaders are doing the legal measures to keep his tRumpiness moving out the door come Jan 20th.

The things DEMs do are often the boring side of the process and while I've gone to protests, this is like swimming up to your armpits with alligators.

I am beyond outrage, I'm grieving that we even have to face this type of opposition with fellow Americans. This isn't strategy, this is life and death.

Then I guess we have to go do it.

However, there will be as many die doing this as there are from COVID.

The reThuglicans have people armed against anyone even thinking that tRump didn't win.

Our police are killing indiscriminately.

Are all of US ready to DIE, NOW?

Or are we trying to avoid an all out war using the system to see if we can prevent a bloody coup?
