I thought maybe the brave men and women in the military and police force had something to do with us being free and not speaking Chinese or Russian. In regards to not questioning fair elections you must still be upset at Al Gore who took his Florida case all the way to the Supreme Court in the presidential election of 2000. OR maybe you are pretty ticked at the Dems for dragging the country through all of the Russia Russia Russia nonsense after Hillary lost and Trump "stole" the election from her. That or you feel like he was elected fairly because that would be a "danger" to our democracy to question that election. Or is it just a danger for a conservative to question the fairness of elections while liberals have the green light to do so?
We should question the press along with politicians on both sides of the isle.
As for the free press. You would think that the first Amendment would be kinda important to them, right? Like free speech and such. After all 1A is where the freedom of the press is also found. They would be the first people to stand up and defend your right to free speech and to disagree with them, right? Not so much. They are just another arm of the Democrat party and do not even try to pretend to do journalism any more. Their story every day is very predictable. "Trump is going to kill you." If you disagree with them then you are a racist, cancelled, banned, fired, censored, etc. Even if you are a group of doctors sharing you expertise, but it goes against the agenda the media is pimping at the moment. After all, they know best.
As far as the threats to democracy? Not concerned about riots and looting with no rule of law at all? American cities burning and experiencing murder rates higher than places like Afghanistan? Maybe unreasonable restrictions on small businesses while big business remains open and rakes in the cash? How about turning criminals lose from prison because they might get Covid when all that you had to do was give them a mask. (And then watching the crime rate sore.) Or do masks really not work? Or how about the Chinese and Russians hacking into our countries infrastructure and stealing our hard work and profiting from it? Or recruiting big business like the NBA who take a knee in our country but are willing to ignore the atrocities of a communistic regime that does not honor basic human rights? You know, like sending Muslims to forced labor camps to be "re-educated". All so they can get a bigger paycheck? Or Iran and N. Korea developing nuclear weapons?
Questioning the media and alterations to our voting process up to and including delaying elections should be our civic duty. I would be a bit worried about the other...
