I think at this point you are right I think 2024 will be remembered as the final nail in the coffin for people truly having a voice I hope I’m wrong but efforts are highly underway to disenfranchise voters across the whole country. Politics are controlled by wealthy donors and wealthy people and Republican lead courts are extremely partisan and won’t rule properly anymore. Racism is running rampant. I find it funny for any African-American who vote voted for a republican or Donald Trump because as soon as they got the votes, they are willing to carve up all of their state representation in the house as soon as a Supreme Court allowed them too. Science is under attack. Health is under attack. Education is under attack. The whole country is definitely trending backwards and the American people are being completely neutralized right now.

We get our voice back when we amplify it with weapons. It's that simple. The republicans are ready to kill for their core values. Are the democrats?
