In a crucible of our democractic right to vote,
Acts by fringe groups tried to take an axe
The principle of the nation: one voice, one vote,
But, thankfully police turned back the attack!
Complacent being complaisant to a despots’s will,
They entered Congress’s halls without warning,
Intent on ravishing people who certify the votes,
They left a country in great sadness and mourning.
The right to vote must be protected and ensured.
Anything less is to betray our nation’s beliefs.
So, we cannot allow anyone to take away the right,
Not even the Congress or the commander in chief.

The way I see it, they were warned and so were the FBI etc. They were not forceful enough and the violence ensued. A selfie with a mobster? What is this, days of The Godfather? I just hope the threats about the inauguration of Biden are quashed before it’s too late, and B and his group get the protection they deserve.

I hope Biden and Pence will be okay! I am scared for inauguration day, because now these groups want a revolution to make America a white country. Crazy!

It is my deep hope that there is now enough waking up to both protect properly and interrupt the mob and mayhem crew before they take action. Shutting up their encourager in chief will be a good start.

Well said. I warned people that if Krusty the Klown got elected it would be bad for democracy. Both he and his followers showed how far they were willing to go in an attempt to overthrow the government. This sort of thing can never be taken lightly.

Surely, disrupting inauguration day won’t achieve a thing, quite the opposite in fact. But do they realise it?
My hundred!
