Funny thing about our unique democracy. Try and destroy it and it will devour you. [View all]

It's always been that way throughout our history. Trump and his loony band of traitors are about to be devoured.

You can harm, damage, wreck our democracy, in the end it rises up and devours you.

The moment Trump was elected I knew he would cause great harm to our democracy. So did everyone here at DU. I also knew the moment Trump was elected he would have a bad ending.
