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.

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.

It’s not cynicism. I think you are focused on the wrong thing. The few protesters with nefarious aims are a gnat compared to the corporate capture of govt and the out of control IC that have turned their deception and treachery on the US public.

Then don’t pretend Trump was a threat to an existing democracy when there was none to begin with!

I’m cynical as all hell but I’m still walking forward, hoping to be a part of changing what I can.

Marianne imo it’s important to acknowledge that we’ve never really been a democracy and if we want one, we need to fight to finally have one, not to preserve one that never really existed
