I appreciate your response. And the embodiment of hope in your words.

Idealism and hope are becoming obsolete and it's extremely disheartening.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.
