WE The People

Are you watching? Are
you listening? Trump and the
Republicans are

attempting to throw
out the results of a free
and fair election.

Republicans in
leadership roles, who could make
this all stop, won’t step

up to help secure
our Democracy. You all
do understand this,

don’t you? “To ignore
evil is to become an
accomplice to it.”

The longer folks like
Rob Portman stand by and let
this happen, the more

precarious our
Democracy becomes. We
are one election

away from its loss.
The Republican Party
is now — according

to Steve Schmidt — our first
autocratic party. It
is important that

we all understand
the implications of this.
The eroding of

our Constitution
and the attempts to get our
fellow citizens

to distrust the rule
of law, the government and
facts don’t go out the

door when Trump leaves the
White House. This is just the start.
We must stay alert.

Our Democracy
only functions, when WE the
People do the work!
(Haikus #3350–3363)

(Martin Luther King, Jr. is quoted in this haiku)
