Our country has been a democracy from the beginning. We don't know any other form of government. Twitler, Ryan, and McConnell are a trifecta of bad but I believe we will survive this. People stopped being engaged in the political process and politicians handled it as well as a 16 year-old left alone for the weekend with mom's credit card and dad's Ferrari. Democracy works but only when we work and a lot of us are working. The Women's March, March for Our Lives and countless Dems running for seats we haven't challenged for years tells me we will survive.
