1. Maybe - but those voters aren't the problem

It is not the folks that will vote for the Fascists in 2022 and 2024 that are the root of the problem in America.

It is the 40% to 50% of the American voting public that did not even bother to cast a vote in 2016 and 2020 that will bring the death knell to our system of government.

The founders never imagined that half the US population would refuse to participate in their own representation in government; maybe because it cam just after the Revolutionary War and the stakes were obvious.

Now the mush-brained American public spends their time with their nose in their phones and other electronic toys, while the Fascists pound away at the foundations of our Constitutional Republic.

No democracy can survive apathy and ignorance.
