We’re still going to be fine though.


Neither the democrats or the republicans are trying to destroy the country, even though they’re both pushing that narrative hard right now.
How so?

The biggest narrative both far left and far right are pushing is:

They’re going to destroy the country
They’re going to be the downfall of America
They’re going to take away our rights
We can’t let that happen
We have to stop them
We have to prepare for them stealing the election
We have to prepare for what comes next….

That’s both sides word for word.




It’s unneeded.

We’re all going to be fine whoever wins.



There might very well be a bunch of political battles to fight, like abortion rights, but that’s something we can fix just by following the legal process to change laws.

That doesn’t mean the country is about to be destroyed, or that anyone is trying to destroy it… that’s an issue with different viewpoints that needs voter strength. We can handle that.

And be prepared for what will happen if they lose.
If they try J6 again, I don't think they'll be unarmed.
I don't think they'll try J6 again. I don't think they'll have to.

These Republicans say THEY want to end democracy, not Democrats. Believe them?

Republicans as a whole do not want to end democracy, regardless of what this idiot says in his speeches.
These Republicans do not represent republicans as a whole any more than the democrats who think republicans should be sent to reeducation camps represent democrats as a whole.

Republicans are poised to renominate (by an overwhelming margin), a man who tried to steal the last election when he lost, and who feels to this day he did nothing wrong in doing so.

So we should just ignore what is being said at the largest gathering of Republicans because they don't represent Republicans?

Democrats believe that, Republicans don’t.
Republicans don’t think he did anything wrong, Democrats think he did.

That’s why they’re willing to re-elect him.

When these lunatics say boldly that they are in it to overthrow democracy then THEY are the problem. Don't blame the people who want to support democracy.
