Voters who don’t pay attention lose democracy we love

Well, to all of those folks who voted but didn’t pay much attention or care much about politics, you are about to feel one of most frightening upheavals in the history of the United States … the country you have taken for granted as it kept you safe and free.

Donald Trump is assembling a power structure in D.C. right out of a nightmare novel. Untrained, incompetent total loyalists for Secretaries of Defense, State … Health and Human Services, National Security Advisor, and Attorney General.

And these are comments from Republicans.

He promised this for two years … and his obvious goal is a powerless Congress and sterile Supreme Court … my way or the highway. No longer our democracy. Not paying attention can destroy what you love.
