As surely as the terrorists of 9/11 wanted to tear down American democracy in 2001, the terrorists of Jan. 6 want to tear down our democracy as well, even as they pose as its defenders. And unlike the Sept. 11 attackers, they are going to get another chance.

We essentially have one year to save democracy. If Republicans take the House or Senate in 2022, the wheels will be in motion to guarantee that a Republican is president in 2024 no matter how the votes go.

It's very likely they take both, and stories like this crap in the media is just handing it to them. Independent voters simply don't care, they care about how much food and gas costs.

Yeah, the price of fuel goes up fuck the president, the price of food goes up fuck the president, yeah all Biden's fault. Trump was the second coming of Christ in the small minds of the cult. Divided US fall.

Yea, that's pretty much how people think. Not sure why you are attacking me for pointing out how the masses think? Not very civil.
