13. The most powerful statement in this OP that I can use when talking to repugs

"People really need to look at everything they depend on to keep their lives running as smoothly as possible and ask, "If democracy collapsed, would that still be there?"


Let's think about that for a minute,

First, property rights would collapse. Maga rioters will definitely keep the spoils for themselves, just as they learned from that big fat lying buffoon named trump.

Second, our infrastructure that is responsible for clean drinking water, safe food, Social Security and Medicare VA benefits, safe roads and bridges, SEC which "tries" to oversee the stock market, the CDC, the military, the national guard, parks and recreation, wildlife reclamation, just to name a few, and not to mention the myriad of government services and laws that allow most of us to sleep at night without worrying if we will live to see the next day.

Ask your Magat asshole acquaintances, families and friends if they are ready to give all that up. If they are, they can vote for the jerkwad republican running in their districts. And if they say none of that won't happen, let them know that they are stupidly fooling themselves.

End rant.
