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.

You think it’s ok to go after 75 million people who voted for Trump, you think it’s ok to say most National guard voted for Trump so Biden better be careful.

“Musculature of vital citizenship”!!! I have to say, it’s refreshing to see an original analogy that really works.

ZDoing other things includes the exhausting behind of trying to stay afloat in a cruel economy, leaving little ban dwith to challenge the oligarchy.y

I think social media and misleading news played a big part also.

Too many people took their eyes off the ball? Voted differently to you do you mean?
