We barely even whimpered when they stole a USSC judge. We barely even made a peep about serious questions regarding our elections. These things should have us up in arms. But we don't. We just say "they don't play fair" and we move on.

We play by the rules even when the rules no longer are effective. Even when faced with the end of our democracy. Even when our safety is being threatened. I am guilty of it. A true keyboard activist. The mall should be packed with people screaming mad. Indeed we should be surrounding the capitol. But we don't do that anymore.
