20. There has to be a way to stop their false narrative and to shut them down

What they're espousing - which many of them, especially in Congress, know is not true - is dangerous and, as you said, puts our democracy in peril. The obvious way is to vote them out, but they are in the majority in certain areas of the country. The behavior and disruption we're seeing now from some elected officials would have previously have been unbelievable - and they're the ones who make the news.

And I agree that Biden has been doing an amazing job, but there are actually people in this country who refuse to believe he's the president! There have always been a fringe who refuse to conform to laws and norms, but thanks to TFG who set that example, that fringe has become a much larger and thus more dangerous group - and they now have national representation!

The GOP is at war with the Dems, America, and democracy. Irish_Dem Sep 2021 #12
The thing that's discouraging is that the TFG-following crazies are clearly in the minority Rhiannon12866 Sep 2021 #14
