7. Uh-oh....
Looks like some people need to go back to school and learn the definition of "democracy," which doesn't automatically include "coming back into the fold."
Honestly, these people shouldn't be American citizens if they don't know that questioning authority, speaking out against powers that are moving toward tyranny and protest are the cornerstone of a vibrant democracy.
Maybe it's not disappointed liberals and left-leaning moderates who should be moving - maybe we should be asking those who don't understand democracy to move somewhere where they can live under totalitarian rule if they want.
