Would you risk everything to stand and fight for your country and its people?

Wrong link above. This is the one I intended for the OP.

[quote]We wonder why and are dismayed that our Congressional reps, especially the Republicans, are not living up to their oaths to defend the Constitution and call them cowards.

Clearly a worry almost exclusive to Democrats. The vast majority of ignorant, mean-spirited Trump supporters are collectively happy as a pig in shit to see the Constitution trampled upon by a angry, vengeful Trump bent if robbing and destroying.

It was always going to end this way, OP.

R3 Does that mean you think it's best to accept the inevitable?

And by "end", do you think we can recover what is being destroyed?

[quote]Would you risk everything to stand and fight for your country and its people?

As being a US. senator or representative it's big worry of all but an infinitesimal number of people, shouldn't the question be something like:

"Would you risk everything to remain in the U.S. to stand and fight for your country and its people? Or would you make preparations to leave the US shitshow?"

Not everyone has leaving as an option, I'm aware, but for those who do, what are you waiting for?

the ending of American democracy is an acceptable option if it means a black can never be POTUS again

Except Dems lost the Senate as well in 2024 and the party starting losing non white voters.

Over 81,000,000 chose Kamala as the first ever female VP in 2020. No white or Latina woman has won in that role.

Democrats have to stop relying on lazy excuses.

If I stand to lose everything, yes. I’m on SS, VA, HUD. I was planning to live in my car if I have to, but I just bought an older Mercedes coupe. It was only a little more than what I paid for a VW 12 years ago.

[quote]Many of us worry how far the US authoritarian regime will go down the road in persecuting its scapegoated targets and punishing its opponents, especially now, with the immense funding just approved for ICE and building detention camps around the nation and Trump's demonstrated willingness to call in Federal troops for citizen protests.

Why weren't you worried when Democrats were acting authoritarian the past four years, enforcing CRT to re-educate people or else, DEI to discriminate against men/whites, passing laws to limit free speech, and canceling/ostracizing people for not going along with woke/trans ideology.

Trump getting rid of all that so that no one has special privileges, plus securing our borders and being tough on crime is not being authoritarian. Its called watching out for the American people, which Democrats were not doing, because they were more concerned with foreign affairs and illegal immigrants. In fact, it's safe to say that modern Democrats (i.e. globalists) don't give a fuck anymore about their fellow Americans.

You liberals don't live in reality and look/sound like fools when you call Trump a dictator and claim that your rights are being taken away.

r9 pretends he was once liberal.

Actually, he's just another Trumper who somehow thinks his incoherent arguments will sway others. They don't. They just make him look really foolish.

R9 Tell us how you're an ignorant, racist bigot, without telling us you're an ignorant, racist bigot.

magat shithead

getting rid of medicare and ss and american democracy is an acceptable outcome if "we" get rid of crt and dei.

White males being discriminated against in the US is total fuckin bullshit, okay? Bullshit! Let me correct myself - white HETERO males being discriminated against in the US is bullshit! No matter what else was happening - DEI or whatever - it's bullshit!

Period.

The worst Repugs are converts from the Dems.

And vice versa. Republicans destroyed their own party and reached across the aisle to fucking meddle in the democratic party.

No. I don’t even have the guts to jaywalk or coast through a stop sign in an empty parking lot.

Which 3rd are you?

NO! I deserve to live. so did Albert Einstein and thousands of others who fled when it was necessary.

Very true R16.

It’s all so fucking sad. And scary. And enraging. I’m Canadian and I’m watching it all go down with a daily-sometimes hourly-sense of shock and awe. How did it happen? How could it get this bad?

For all your flaws America, I didn’t see the attack on American democracy ITSELF, coming from within. Not the sheer size and scope anyway. Not at this level of acceleration. It’s mind boggling! And I sure didn’t think it was inevitable like so many are saying.

Thx R21 but a lot of us Americans saw this coming with little faith in rule of law which is now dead.

We're still so spoiled by democracy we believe the nazi takeover will just go away.

[quote]We're still so spoiled by democracy we believe the nazi takeover will just go away.

"So spoiled by democracy" is another of those myths to which Americans subscribe.

The U.S. scored only in 36th place as a democracy. And that was 5 years ago. Things have gone down hill rather substantially of late.

Nazis left their native homelands and found a home AND SAFETY here in the US.

Here's an immigrant tossing a nazi salute on stage behind the presidential seal DURING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES INDOOR INAUGURAL EVENT.

All of this because they’re still pissed Obama was president. How dare a Black man run this white supremacist country!

And without a hint of scandal or impropriety.

Well, we are concerned about this. Isn't that enough?

Does "risk everything" include the possible loss of my social media followers? If, so then no.

the "original sin" is an 81 year old moving slower and behaving like an 81 year old.

(An 81 year old who found time and energy to pay respects to a Senator who was assassinated with her husband and family dog last week)

his more virile energetic rival, a mere 3 years younger and the sitting president didn't show up.

the sin of flashing a nazi gang sign on stage is not problematic for prostitutes who read the news from a teleprompter.
