1/ Having come this close to losing our democracy, millions of more people now realize how important it is that we have one - however imperfect and bedraggled it is.

2/ We didn’t come so close to the cliff because of just one man; we came so close because We the People took our eyes off the ball, too many of us allowing the musculature of vital citizenship to whither while we were off doing other things.

3/ It was a painful awakening but a necessary one. As long as we remain alert, as long as we don’t go back to sleep, as long as we refuse to ever again farm out our democracy to those unworthy of our trust, then the future will be much better than the past.

4/ Democracy doesn’t work when it’s citizens become disengaged. Citizenship must become something we consider part of a meaningful and well lived life. So many of this have learned so much. America has been humbled, and in the final analysis that is not a bad thing.

What Democracy? It’s an illusion. Do not pass go. So not collect your $600 bribe. Go straight to YouTube and watch George Carlin.

We should not rest on our laurels. Hitler's first attempt to seize government, the Beer Hall Putsch failed. His movement needed to be extinguished then and there. The fight against neo-fascism has yet to be won. We must learn from history. Don't stop fighting until they surrendr

Agreed! Plus Americans have to experience consistency and equality when it comes to how they are treated vs. how political officials are treated. We need hold them to the laws they hold us accountable on and judge us upon no differently than themselves.

I'm so heartbroken to see someone I once had so much respect for becoming a shill for the evilest darkness that has ever existed on this planet. I do hope you simply have no idea what you're doing.
