So, how do we defend democracy and voting rights...

When a large chunk of the country (maybe 1/3) are actually of the mindset that Authoritarian rule would be better (so long as it’s their preferred Dictator? Of course) and many are actively working to undermine voting rights and faith in our electoral system? I am not being hyperbolic in saying they hate democracy or even the type of Republic we have and we are still at grave risk of losing our form of Government. The last Coup attempt failed… how do we assure the next one doesn’t succeed?

I realize there are no easy answers… just worried too many don’t realize how close we came and that we aren’t out of the woods yet. (Not so much here on DU but in general)

...clearly just whipped right by them without a notice nor care, back in 2016 whe the Warnings Were Indeed Spoken, but drowned out by the gleeful shouts of free shit & revolution, ..why would we once again expect them to hear the truth from the Democratic playbook of 'How to Save America From a Multi-pronged Attempt of A Coup".

NOW THEY ASK HOW DO WE GET OUR ASSES OUTTA THIS MESS!!?

I'm sure Zack Exley has all the answers.
Btw, who'd he meet up with on his 2012 trip to Russia?



Seriously the amount of bullshit that fker & his ilk, foreign & domestic has shoveled out to social media since then is propaganda tailor made for a Fiction Movie.

No one pulls the wool over the eyes of a targeted demographic like Exley's bunch.
