"A decade from now, will the world say that 2021 was the year the United States squandered its democracy?"
That’s the question the New York Times recently posed to its readers. As 2021 ends, it's a real question.
Between the January 6th insurrection, Congressional Republicans turning against an independent inquiry into the insurrection, Republican-led state legislatures pushing new laws to restrict voting rights, and Democratic Secretaries of State receiving death threats for not subscribing to the Big Lie, 2021 has been horrifying for our democracy.
The New York Times is issuing this grave warning:
"If Republicans prevail, America will become one of those faraway, seemingly lawless places where every election is in doubt and no part of our political culture remains above the partisan fray.
"Democrats have a narrow window now to 'recognize the existential threat not just to their party but to the country as a whole. But if they don’t do that, then the ship is going to hit the iceberg.' And then we’re all sunk.”
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
