5. I want OTHER PEOPLE to save democracy for me.

The problem isn't fascist Republicans doing fascist things, it's Democrats, especially elected Democrats, not doing enough to stop them. [sarcasm]

I'm disappointed that The Guardian, which I have supported financially, used this rally to troll Democrats. Their reporting uncovered this gem:

Mary Baird, who traveled to the Washington protest from North Carolina, said Democrats need to remember that they are ultimately accountable to their voters.

“We don’t really want to vote out the Democrats but we will,” she said. “So don’t think that just because you’re a Democrat that your seat is safe, because we’re sick of this fascist shit.”
