10. Yes, after this attempted takeover by an authoritarian regime, we must come back stronger and freer.

Sadly, after Republican administrations are finished some of their liberty restricting laws remain in place. Therefore, every time a conservative government is replaced by Democrats, essentially,, we lose. This time there will probably be more new restrictions upon our personal freedoms as well as our social protections than ever before.

Instead of leaving anything from this authoritarian shit show in place. Our protections must become iron clad and written into our constitution with amendments. We must come back with our freedoms more powerfully constructed, and legally entrenched than ever before.. We can’t just go back to the way it was, because the way it was, perched precariously on the verge of the disaster we’re seeing now, went on for entirely too long.
