That is what Trumpery winning looks like. Intimidation working. People shrinking from public service due to fear they may jeopardize their safety and the safety of their families. US senators changing their votes on impeachment for fear of retribution from The Following.

It's all part of the insidious erosion of norms the country has endured. A loss of faith in our bedrock institutions and a loss of faith in election integrity are not accidents nor is it a coincidence they're happening now. They are the price we all pay for the power the minions have willingly given the most malevolent internal force in US history, Trumpery.

Trump and his followers are all in jail.

This is what Trumpery winning looks like.

One Republican congressman confided to Romney that he wanted to vote for Trump’s second impeachment, but chose not to out of fear for his family’s safety. The congressman reasoned that Trump would be impeached by House Democrats with or without him — why put his wife and children at risk if it wouldn’t change the outcome? Later, during the Senate trial, Romney heard the same calculation while talking with a small group of Republican colleagues. When one senator, a member of leadership, said he was leaning toward voting to convict, the others urged him to reconsider. You can’t do that, Romney recalled someone saying. Think of your personal safety, said another. Think of your children. The senator eventually decided they were right.

What does winning look like?

Who is a bigger winner? Is it someone forcing their will on others because they hold political power, or is it the activist who has the courage to stand up to their tyranny and is ushered into a jail cell for it?

I'm not suggesting Trump is innocent of anything when I say this, it is a serious question.

No matter if Biden wins the next election or not, when I look at the man I can only think of him as a pathetic loser.

Our country was designed to be a participatory democracy. It encourages ordinary citizens to run for local offices, work in local elections, serve on juries, perhaps even aspire to run for statewide or national office. What happens to our fragile democracy when.........

A common misunderstanding ... you should know that today we don't vote for President, the Electoral College does, and Presidents were allowed to serve for life ... and the Senate wasn't a direct vote either, State Legislatures appointed Federal Senators ...

Only the House was selected by the voters, in line with the English House of Commons ... our founding fathers didn't trust We the People enough, so the more powerful government offices were to be determined by the politically powerful, not the Commoners ...

We've changed over these past 247 years ...

We are not a Republic anymore. Or there are very few threads connecting us to it. We are a Democracy as it is put into our heads every day. Democracy is a code word for a dictatorship. Progs smell blood. And they have been helped with Progs shills elected to Republican positions over the years. You are just lying fraud spewing that crap. Joe will stand with privileged union people he will never stand with those not so privileged in employment. Progs talk however they will not go to stores that cost more with union privileged people employees. Progs destroyed our industrial prowess. And the privileged employees left those areas to live in other environs with the goodies they collect in pensions and benefits. So, Detroit is a ghetto that movies over 40 years ago had them as while the auto employees live the life of riley in retirement. When Trump put tariffs on Chinese made products, the Progs jumped on it calling it tax increases when he was trying to get industrial production employment increased. Then we get Joe doing the opposite and lying about any increases.

Maybe the authorities could add a "Trump wing" to an existing facility to house all the felons involved in his criminal enterprise.

If you don't appreciate the ways in which the Founders encouraged citizen participation in our democracy you understand nothing.

 

[g5000]

​

I really want to know who started this unbelievably stupid bullshit "we aren't a democracy" meme for you brainless, ignorant, dumb fucks to parrot.

I really do.

​

Trump's Jan. 6 Speech​

We're gathered together in the heart of our nation's capital for one very, very basic and simple reason: To save our democracy.


Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down.



Today, for the sake of our democracy, for the sake of our Constitution, and for the sake of our children, we lay out the case for the entire world to hear.



They want to indoctrinate your children. It's all part of the comprehensive assault on our democracy, and the American people are finally standing up and saying no. This crowd is, again, a testament to it.

 

[22lcidw]

WTF?

They do what they want in power. 50/50 senate. Several more representatives the Republicans and a Prog president. And viola...tens of trillions of dollars paying people off in fiat currency printing legislation and 20 per cent total inflation since he was installed in office. I have to walk a line between you and oppressive law enforcement and judicial people where I live who think their shit does not stink. If I act out, I will be on a slab. And that is why you will eventually win. People moving to red states are moving to dwindling areas and will not give any wealth, pensions salaries and benefits for freedoms.

 

[ReinyDays]

If you don't appreciate the ways in which the Founders encouraged citizen participation in our democracy you understand nothing.

If you don't appreciate the Royalists of the time, maybe you should learn ... why wouldn't the new US Congress be set up fairly similar to the English Parliament? ... the main difference is these seats aren't inheritable ... We the People elect directly the State Legislatures, who in turn elected our Federal Senators at the beginning ... that's still a Republic, if We the People don't like the Senator the State sent to Washington DC, we can elect a new State Government ... easy peasy? ...

Well ... no ... it was a bad idea ... and we changed the Constitution and now directly elect our Federal Senators ...

Remember in 1776 ... "We the People" meant white landowning men ... not women, and certainly not darkies ...
