I meant both.Did you mean to say Threats to our Republic?
Leftists are simpletons and easy to see though. They get all puffed up with that "We must save muh democracy" bullshit, but it's not about patriotism or love for their country.
They're only playing Alinsky's Rule #4: "Make the enemy live up to his own book of rules."
The biggest threat to our democracy is loss of confidence.Democracy is not dead as long as we have an operating Constitution and people follow it. All this Democrat BS about a threat to democracy is more of their lies.
Congress still works and so do the courts.
Get that Virginia nonsense outta here.Did you mean to say Threats to our Republic?
I talked to some moron at a Pub who insisted that President Trump was a criminal. Asked him several times in several ways what crime has the president committed.Democracy is not dead as long as we have an operating Constitution and people follow it. All this Democrat BS about a threat to democracy is more of their lies.

Voter ID and marking a voter's hand with dye like is done in other countries is the only way to secure elections. Mail in Balloting should be eliminated for all but The Military and the Sick.It may be instructive to be more granular in presenting the case for the threat Trumpery poses to democracy. And to understand it is a phenomenon that is new, unique to the post Trump presidency.
Colorado Guilty Plea a First for US Election Task Force
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security this month renewed a threat advisory warning of possible violence, particularly for elections officials, workers and other targets by individuals or small groups motivated by conspiracy theories and “false and misleading narratives.”
Griswold, a Democrat, told Colorado lawmakers earlier this year that she and other elections officials have received thousands of threats that have prompted many local clerks to quit or take security training so they feel safe in their public service work.

Campaign of Fear
The Trump world’s assault on U.S. election workers
The people who administer U.S. elections – from poll workers and ballot counters to county clerks and secretaries of state – have endured a year of terroristic threats from supporters of former President Donald Trump, inspired by his false assertions of widespread fraud in the 2020 vote. The result, as Reuters chronicled in this agenda-setting series of reports, has been a campaign of intimidation that is stressing the foundation of American democracy.

The Biden admin is aware of the problem. But prevention, detection, and punishment are not easy.
What Can The Biden Administration Actually Do To Protect Elections?
The President then offered a declaration: “I will not stand by and watch the most fundamental freedom in this country, the freedom to vote and have your vote counted, be taken from you and the American people.” But what does that actually look like in practice?
“I keep hearing about more election officials that are receiving threats, but I don’t hear about any more prosecutions,” Matthew Weil, director of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Elections Project, told TPM. Amy Cohen, executive director of the National Association of State Election Directors, testified to Congress last month, “a common refrain I hear from my members is that nobody is going to take this seriously until something bad happens, and we are all braced for the worst.”
In a statement, Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite, Jr. noted many of the threats are made anonymously with devices that are difficult to trace.
Some Call For More Biden Admin Action To Protect Elections
I follow current events in this country pretty closely and have for decades. I do not recall ever hearing about threats to election workers largely coming from the supporters of one politician, any politician, until Trump. Someone who is on the record having fomented the use of violence and intimidation against perceived political enemies. The enemies list having expanded beyond candidates of the opposing party to election workers carrying out their patriotic duties to the country.
I am 100% in favor of all eligible voters voting.It may be instructive to be more granular in presenting the case for the threat Trumpery poses to democracy. And to understand it is a phenomenon that is new, unique to the post Trump presidency.

Threats to Ruby Freeman do not equate with threats to democracy. Next?ATLANTA (Reuters) - Death threats from angry Trump supporters forced Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman, a 62-year-old grandmother, to flee her home of 20 years. Some messages called for her hanging; one urged people to “hunt” her. Freeman showed hundreds of menacing messages to police and called 911 three times.

Beyond the concern for these two women as human beings and the fear they must have felt, and possibly still feel, from those threats, I can't help wondering, and worrying, about the effect stories like this have on other Americans dedicated to fair election outcomes. Americans who may be replaced with MAGAnuts all too willing to do anything they can to tilt the scales in favor of MAGAnut candidates.
Well Virginia is a Commonwealth but the dems here still go on about "mah democracy".Get that Virginia nonsense outta here.
You should move here and help us fix it.Well Virginia is a Commonwealth but the dems here still go on about "mah democracy".
At least we are hand over fist better on property rights than Tejas is.....They never saw another person's land that they did not want to take by eminent domain if there was a graft nickel to be made off of it for a crony.
Now that the truth is coming out, how to you feel about Joe Biden ordering The FBI to commit a Watergate like RAID on Melania's Panty Drawer for the sole purpose of looking for political dirt they could leak to THE MEDIA?
Blah, I got stuck in that shit-hole of a state for near three months once back in the 90s....Other than the Gulf surf fishing I saw nothing of redeeming value there.....And if I never see another fuckin' What A Burger it will be too soon.You should move here and help us fix it.
