Of course we cannot simply trust that the good side will win. The people that want to retain the democratic system have to defend it. And I count myself among these people. It's hard for me to watch what is happening, too.

All I'm saying is that democracy is built upon free speech. Without it, it cannot work.

You cannot defend a system by destroying its foundation. It's a trap.

It's a great insight that "You cannot defend a system by destroying its foundation."

Continuing along that line of thinking: the "good side" can't possibly be the one participating in a cover-up, trying to brush aside all the evidence of fraud.

The people who want to retain our republic have to defend it.
