will destroy this democracy if we are weak and ineffectual in fighting their virulent and toxic hate. The current administration cannot try to remain civil in this attack on decent and willing to fight liberal, progressives and allied independents. At least my old a** is ready to fight.

This current state of affairs WILL define the strength of our democracy for the rest of our presence on this earth. Internal enemies are the worst. We have to fight a hateful racist fellow American tooth and nail. Remember Gettysburg, Antietam, Chickamauga, Spotsylvania Court House, Battle of the Wilderness, Battle of Chancellorsville, Battle of Shiloh...I lived close to one of these charnel grounds of wasted human lifeblood...the death, the wounded...sad. All over the right to keep a fellow human being chained like an animal. Seems some whites and their allies want that again.

Not saying it will reach this point. Maybe we are smarter than this. Yet white racist hate has reached a point that is worth keeping in mind. 1/6/21 WAS NOT an aberration. These were trump's soldiers ready to kill for him and his lies.
