Democracy and all of the pieces that are so unique to our country, the United States, and our Constitution is not a given. Let me say that again. Democracy is not a given. This horrific administration and all those within are a flashing neon sign of what happens when we take all of our freedoms for granted, when we forget why we have them or what they stand for, or that we the people means all people, all Americans. It is not too late to say stop, to be heard, to open your eyes and then help open the eyes of others.
