Agree. Think these folks have been at this for a very long time. Thank goodness for the media or we'd still be in the dark about it. Fortunately for us, people like @marcelias.bsky.social and the folks at #DemocracyDocket are on it.

What we face in 2024 is nothing like past elections, not even 2016. Trump is running to enact retribution. He wants absolute power and absolute immunity. He will destroy our democracy. The one thing we can do to stop him is to vote for Biden and Democrats. History is watching.
