Protect Democracy NOW!

As you seem to need to be reminded, the Constitution and separation of powers in our government are vital democratic principles that must be safeguarded. Any attempts to undermine these foundations pose a grave threat to our nation's stability and the rights of its citizens. It is imperative that we remain vigilant against forces seeking to erode constitutional checks and balances or concentrate power in a way that defies the intent of the Framers. You have a solemn duty to preserve and defend the integrity of our democratic institutions for current and future generations of ALL people. You are not, to this point, living up to your duties to protect the American people, the constitution, or our human rights and freedoms - every single person’s human rights that are innate and inviolable at birth, NOT according to any christian nationalist narrow, dehumanizing definition meant to degrade, demean, disenfranchise and control. Your actions and inactions have so far put our very democracy on a deathwatch. You are failing on a cataclysmic level - and the vast majority of Americans and the world-at-large see it. The majority of Americans and our allies globally are severely disappointed - horrified, even - and swiftly losing any and all faith or trust in anything noble or just that Americans have fought and died to help us stand for. How dare you plow us all under for the sake of corporations, billionaires and those who seek unbridled power above all else? How dare you? And, honestly, how dare any of your staffers stand beside you and enable you while you do it? Anyone left in your offices who has a shred of humanity or actual moral compass left should resign from your employ immediately. Our standing in the world at large is very much in danger. We may not come back from this as a country - our entire democracy may not survive. Which means a great many beloved human beings will also not survive the extremely grave consequences of what you have wrought. And that's on you - that’s your legacy. How disgustingly shameful. You will be remembered for this in the same way that every fascist and fascist enabler has been for all of history. How is that not clear to you? How can you not hear the people - YOUR people - screaming out against so much injustice and horrific lack of wisdom and discernment. Do better. Immediately!
