November 7th should be called Democracy Day and should be a national holiday.

The American people do not yet understand the full nature or the full threat against our democracy. It was an all-out assault.

If Trump had gotten four more years, it is very possible our democracy would not have survived. He had gained control of the Executive, the Judicial, and half of the Legislative Branches of government. Luckily, Democrats had gained control of the House in 2018. Democracy was clinging by one-half of one Branch of government.

The threat is far from over. Almost half of this nation was propagandized to believe the rantings and grievances of a madman-wanna-be dictator, and was caught up in the hype and misinformation of the power-hungry fascists. There was nothing they would not do to maintain power.

In my opinion, November 7th is a date we should commemorate to remind us to be more vigilant against tyrants and strongmen, looking to destroy our institutions and our freedoms.
