My goodness. Last week, we had to suffer through the January 6th hysteria on television. Well, that may look mild compared to what is probably coming. This week, the President and Vice President are headed to Georgia. They’re going to go campaign with Senator Warnock, who is up for re-election. He has proven himself to be one of the more progressive members of the Senate. At a time people in Georgia are concerned with crime and inflation, he is fixated on voting reforms.
Am glad that my house and car are the only property which I own. Starting a small business, especially in a big city run by Democrats, requires jumping over many hurdles. Some businesses have not recovered from the double whammy of COVID and the riots in 2020.
I am growing increasingly concerned by everyone talking about our country losing its democracy. It was not founded as a democracy although it has been moving closer to a democracy over the decades. Our government is a representative republic rather than a democracy. The founders of our nation feared a democracy and shunned it. The Senate was established to provide equal representation of the States. Senators were selected by the governments of each State. More recently, Senators have been elected by the people of each state moving toward a more democratic Senate. There is a movement for States to cast electoral college votes according to the national vote rather than according to the State's vote. This is becoming much closer to democracy. If we become a democracy where the majority vote of the people controls our country, my State of Georgia will have no say in the direction of the Country. A democracy is a very dangerous thing for most states and a very dangerous thing for our Country. Every time I read or hear someone lamenting the loss of our democracy, I worry that a large majority of people actually believe them. We are a country in crisis because we are a people who have lost the knowledge of our founding.
Just a question. Why can the dems demand that you get out and get vaccinated over and over again, but you are unable to get out and vote. Maybe someone needs to ask Joe and Nancy that.
Since this is Dem vs Dem.....I don't see this elevating to a "riot" level of intensity/insanity. Of course, I could be wrong. I will stock up on popcorn just in case.....
Nice click-bait title. Solid assessment of the situation with the exception of the "storming the capital" line. That was kabuki theater.
Ted Cruz got put over the knee and spanked on national TV for his comments about Jan 6th. If he were up for reelection this November, Robert Francis (Beta) O'Rourke would now take his seat.
We've been to this movie before. Remember the riots that followed Trump's original election back in 2016. Probably not. Why? Because the media buried the footage, but I recall vividly vehicles on fire in DC as Antifa-looking rioters pushed against riot police, etc. How many police were injured that day and in the riots that continued seemingly throughout Trump's Presidency? How many businesses and lives were destroyed by those riots? How much property damage was done? How many government buildings were destroyed? It doesn't matter because it was all done in the name of the Democrat partly fighting against some illusory, supposed authoritarian regime, so they got not only a free pass from the press, but encouragement from Dem leaders and their left-wing media enablers. Pray for the conversion of sinners and protection for those on the side of truth, peace, and justice.
Sadly, prophetically accurate….we can pray that you’re wrong for the sake of the country. Often, God allows our punishment to take the form of what we want—or tolerate.
Riots? Here we go. More fear mongering. Why are yall so scared all the time? Right wing media loves scaring their followers. Whether it's Hannity, Ingraham, Tucker or Erick it's always fear fear fear. Sharing info is one thing. But ginning up fear is a whole nother animal. It's mind control.

I'm correcting your headline Erick, (but only as a service to the legacy media doofuses.)
"Stand by for mostly peaceful protests" or
"Stand by for justified expressions of righteous indignation."
You're welcome!
Rioting is one hell of a fine way to "save democracy". Reading comments like "Crash" below I guess I shouldn't be surprised

Gonna go out on a limb and predict the Capitol will not be attacked. That’s the approach of but one party.

Riots? No mostly peaceful protests.
