In reply to the discussion: superb quote from 'The Steal: The Attempt to Overturn the 2020 Election & the People Who Stopped It' [View all]SWBTATTReg
(25,486 posts)anything, it makes me more determined, more focused on catching and stopping any future attempts to do a repeat of these shameful attempts to circumvent the desires of the winning electorate in our next election cycle. We hear constantly nonstop of the actions of the 1/6 rioters, and their leaders, as they are being thrown into jail, placed on probation, being chased down and charged w/ crimes almost on a daily basis.
I'd like to think that we are the silent majority thus by far (the Biden voters, as well as the numerous independent voters by the millions), the silent majority, and I daresay that if underhanded foul play is done in our next election cycle, that the silent majority will finally find their voices and act decisively. At least the Courts/Justice System is on our side, repealing the 60+ lawsuits to overturn the voters' choice last Nov. 2020.
There comes a time when democracy demands it, and the unfortunate truth is that a chunk of our elected officials are complacent w/ rump and his thugs being thrown into jail. There have been calls to enact portions of the amendment that calls for removal of these very same elected officials, to which I don't know why this hasn't happened.
I know it's extreme but hasn't the events of 1/6/21 reveal to all how extreme this whole situation is already? The voting rights and our choice that won were being trampled and trashed.
