2021 was the year to defend Democracy so that it could not be stolen from us. All the politicians let us down.

Trump is going to use his power now to do whatever he wants. We could not do anything in the past 4 years to actually hold him accountable.

it's disgusting and scary. All the people saying that women would vote to protect their rights. That minorities would vote. That Latin Americans would vote enmass for Democracy. They never showed up. Trump, who couldn't do a decent rally, won convincingly.

Repressive billionnaires buy newspapers, tv stations, social media and radio stations to control the message. Which progressive billionnaire has done the same thing?

This is a very bad period in human history.
