62. It isn't just Washington Democrats who don't get this sense of urgency.

If voter and election protection legislation isn't passed in DC, the Republican shenanigans that enable them to steal elections at the state level will remain on the books. So if Democrats supposedly rise up against "stolen elections," guess who the insurrectionists will be? Guess who will be met with lethal force in the streets? Guess who the Republicans will see gets prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

Anyone who thinks certain Republican governors won't go full Nazi is unserious about democracy.
