For anyone looking forward to living in a country where a dictator calls the shots, silences their opposition, which can include any news reported or jokes made not favorable to the one destined to rule us, I’ve got great news!
There are several countries you could relocate to, where all that and more is exactly set up to your liking, with nothing needed toppled or overthrown, a veritable serf’s paradise.
Please go there, so America can stay what it has always been, in varying degrees: Free.
For any on the fence, wondering really, whom to choose, I offer this analogy: stand at the edge of a cliff, then, if you dare, take a step forward, heaven forbid. Getting our democracy back will be as easy as getting to you were before that awful, fateful, step.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You never know what you have until it is irretrievably lost. Vote to keep our democracy! All other issues are smokescreens.
