"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure,” - Thomas Jefferson Be careful Marianne. Thomas Jefferson was a violent, slave owning revolutionary. You shouldn't be quoting him.

In the 2008-2011 recession many people lost their homes, their savings, and some lost their health. Trump's recovery is no recovery. Wages have not gone up. Homes and rents are unaffordable. Ordinary people struggle.

It just occurred to me that when we are not diligent about old, bad behaviors that we are trying to change, it’s very easy to revert back to them. The same has happened with our democracy. We have not been diligent BUT we can change that - TODAY-with @marwilliamson

George Washington was elected with an 11.6% voter turnout. That’s not democracy. We were never anything but an aristocracy.
