With exactly four weeks until Election Day, to avoid discussions of voting, it might be necessary to tune into reruns of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Virtually everywhere else, talking heads will be droning on about polling among registered voters, polling among likely voters, potential polling errors, the gender gap, speculation on turnout, fears of voter fraud (by Republicans) and voter suppression (by Democrats).
Well done! Today's Americans should take pride in the progress we, as a people, have made over the past 230 plus years toward expanding democracy and freedom. in our nation, and serving as a model for other nations in the process. Yes, it has been a slow and often difficult journey. But the goal is worth the struggle. Now we are faced with the serious threat you have described, of being forced by a radical minority who would force a U-Turn in that progress. But, "We won't go back!"
Well, many of us don't want to go back, but many others do. It is simply a matter of whether the first group, whose turnout is traditionally lower, gets off the couch, turns off their phones, and stops taking their government for granted. If the majority wants to rule, the majority's got to vote.

Fascinating. Thank you.
No problem. I think understanding the real origins of the country make us stronger, not weaker.
