(#6099) How long are we going to give republican voters a pass?

      As our democracy is being dismantled before our eyes when will we hold republican voters feet to the fire for their part in it? Are we democrats not strong enough in our convictions to call a conspirator a conspirator regardless of the reason? The frog in the slowly boiling pot comes to mind. The heat slowly raised doesn't alarm the frog until too late when the heat becomes insurmountably deathly. We americans are in the same slowly heating pot. Will we do what we need to do to get out of the pot before it is too late? Raising the alarm about the heat is one thing, getting into action and then jumping out is another.
     I am a human being who is friendly and actually enjoys being alive. I hope the same for every other human being who can understand why. But those who don't cannot be allowed to dictate to the rest of us how we perceive no harm living. I give nothing to republicans who think that they are following a leader that segregates and denigrates as virtues. Yet even I must admit that nothing is not enough. I and those like me need to raise our voices so loud that it is unmistakable what we are communicating. We who know what is coming with a clear sight cannot get distracted by the minutiae of civility. We are not debating the chicken or egg first argument. We are trying to save our democracy!
     As republican voters go about their lives pretending to know more than they do are we going to give them a wake up call? Are we going to stop being polite with their borderline insane political beliefs concerning policy? Are we going to risk our standing in the communities we live in to make a point about truth, facts, and rule of law? Are we going to show them that being human is first and foremost our duty in life to each other, otherwise chaos and anarchy will be our future. The fragility of democracy is complacency. if we don't fight for equal rights for all human beings we are only biding our time to be run over roughshod by those who won't give a fuck about anyone else but themselves. Sound familiar?
