Lesson:
Starting January of 2019, once Democrats took the House, the DoSoMeThInG! chorus demanded Trump be impeached. "Don't you know, he's putting immigrant children in CAGES???"
Yeah, we knew that, but we told them an impeachment wouldn't stop it.

Well, Trump was impeached, and (as predicted) the Senate didn't convict, and Trump kept putting children in cages until we voted that fucker out of office--which we'd said all along was the only way to stop his policies.

Well, now the DoSoMeThInG!s are demanding Trump and all his former henchmen be indicted, jailed, convicted IMMEDIATELY! to save democracy.
That won't save democracy. There's a long line of fascists waiting to take their places.

Only us voting every damn time will save democracy.
The DoSoMeThInG!s are all lazy whiners who want someone else to save them. There is no white knight. There's no superhero. There's no savior.
There's just us. WE have to save democracy.
Do you know what democracy is?

The word "democracy" means "rule by the people."
WE are "the people." WE are the government. WE have to make our voice heard, and the way we do that is at the polls.
Get off your damn asses and elect Democrats. That's the ONLY way.

PS. I'm not saying Trump and the other criminals shouldn't be indicted, tried, and (hopefully) found guilty and sentenced. I'm saying that won't save democracy. It will help reestablish the rule of law.
But unless YOU elect Democrats, democracy will still die in 2024.

PPS. Even if there was some superhero, what could he do to save democracy? Round up all the lawbreakers? That won't help, because more are waiting to be elected.
WE STILL HAVE TO VOTE.
How hard is this to understand?
