23. What happened is in the past. We are on a razor's edge of losing our democracy NOW.

Yet, you want no one to speak out because they are not running for office or they are butt-hurt because some of the electorate was stupid in the LAST election? As rapidly as Trump is moving with his Project 2025, the rear view of the past election is going to look like a century ago in a matter of weeks.

There is ZERO time to relitigate the last election. Nor to hide our most capable voices from speaking out.
