They stole the Supreme Court. Now, their "Court" is destroying democracy

Yep. The court belongs to the wingnuts of the Republican Party. It took them decades, but now they own it.

So what are we going to do? We aren't them. We won't attack the Capitol or the SCOTUS building. And we won't/don't steal elections.

The answer is to get out and vote in numbers that can't be denied. Numbers so huge that they can't be ignored or accused of being the "votes of dead people." Numbers that say who and what America is.

But what if they find some way to "lose" or nullify those votes? I would hope they wouldn't do that. However, if they refuse to ignore the rules of a civilized country, they shouldn't be surprised by any response they bring about. After all, we believe in a patient, sane, civilized response to being abused and/or provoked. But you know what? There is a limit when barbarians attack you, your family, your freedoms, your very way of life.

I trust the use of that power in his hands.

However, if the Republicans win/steal all the levers of power, I wouldn't trust them with control of a Cub Scout Troop.
