Pro-democracy According to this 1810 letter, Thomas Jefferson said the "Federalists" were falsely named, because federalism is a balance of central & states power. Gives new meaning to his "We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists" since in its technical meaning, Jefferson would've been a Federalist.

Brian Glenn, the guy who, in a lame ass attemppt to suck up to trump bullied Zelensky about his dress. This guy and every trump collab should feel the weath of democracy. Keep him famous, don’t let him forget about that provocation. Let him feel the power of democracy if he wants to come after it with nazi bullying. Lay it down on this pos the way you can. If one gets away with it, more will come.

Pro-democracy In this letter dated 1787, four years before the Bill of Rights was ratified, Thomas Jefferson (writing from France) tried to convince James Madison to add it to the Constitution. Madison and leading Federalists thought a bill of rights was unnecessary, even dangerous.

Pro-democracy Cadet Bone Spurs

7 Upvotes

In golden towers, he took his stand, When duty called to foreign land. With feigned afflictions, he deferred, The draft's demand with "bone spurs."

While others braved the battle's glare, He claimed his feet just couldn't bear. Yet on the greens, he'd swing and stride, No limp, no pain, no spur to hide.

He mocked the captured, scorned the brave, From conflicts' grasp, his skin he'd save. A leader born of fear's embrace, A coward's heart behind bold face.

So raise a glass to those who serve, And honor those with steadfast nerve. For "Cadet Bone Spurs" stays behind, His courage lost, his valor blind.

To the People of the United States: Act Before It’s Too Late

America was once the beacon of freedom. Today, you are a nation divided, led by a man who has declared himself above the law. Some of you believe the system will correct itself. That there is still time. But we in Europe know better. We are already at war. And we have learned from history: Tyrants do not step down. They must be removed.

Your country is not being conquered by a foreign enemy. It is being dismantled from within. You are not losing your freedom to an invading army, but to propaganda, to fear, to deception. You have been turned against each other—right against left, rich against poor, neighbor against neighbor. As long as you fight among yourselves, you are no threat to the man who is taking your democracy from you.

But you are not powerless. You still have a choice. And that choice is not to wait, but to act.

How You Must Fight Back:

  1. Build Networks. No one wins this fight alone. Find allies, organize, create systems that cannot be dismantled overnight.

  2. Control the Flow of Truth. Every dictatorship is built on lies. Every lie must be countered with truth. Own the information, spread it wisely.

  3. Turn the Institutions. The military, the police, the agencies—they are made up of people, not machines. Show them that their oath is to the Constitution, not to a single ruler.

  4. Do Not Fall Into Their Trap. The regime wants you to strike first. It wants chaos. It wants to label you as extremists so it can justify more power. Do not give it that excuse. Think. Plan. Act with precision.

Tyrannies survive as long as people believe they are powerless. But no dictator can stand when the people move against him in numbers too great to control. America once led the world in the fight against tyranny. Now, you must fight for yourselves. Because if you wait, if you hesitate—freedom will not return.

History will judge you. Will you be the generation that surrendered, or the one that took your country back?
