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.

We came nowhere close to losing our democracy. A pandemic would have been perfect cover. The only people in power during this crisis to abuse the power were democrat governors.

America losing it's Democracy was never a possibility that could be associated with Trump. The alliance of Dems/establishmentGOP/BigTech/media/FEDbureacracy now that's a formula to lose a Democracy.

Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping. Monied overlords & their overreach have been a struggle throughout our history. Other generations pushed back, and now it’s our turn. You can say it’s over and give up if you want to but I’m not - and neither are a lot of other people.
