I just looked at my mentions and saw a whole lot people basically arguing for why it& #39;s all over.

So we should all just give up?

Look, nobody promised you a Democracy. People born after the Civil Rights and women& #39;s rights movement inherited an expanding democracy . . .
. . . it was perhaps the first time in American history when it looked possible for the electorate not to be almost entirely white and male.

Minorities don& #39;t willingly give up their power.

People who inherit things tend to think they are entitled.

Nope . . .
. . . if you want a democracy, you have to work for it.

Maybe the problem is us.

Maybe we& #39;re in this mess because too many people took democracy for granted.

Too many people expected other people to do the work . . .
People are good at conjuring up possible problems and possible disaster.

We really don& #39;t have much in common with Belarus.

Learn to find solutions.

Trump and the GOP will keep putting up barriers.

Find ways around them.

I& #39;m not sure if you& #39;ve noticed . . .
. . .but Trump is sinking in the polls. He knows how to read the polls. So does the RNC.

What Trump wants you to do is spread the word that it& #39;s all over and everyone should roll over and give up.

If it were so easy to fix elections, we& #39;d have a Republican House.

Mistake. I meant ethnic majorities don& #39;t willingly give up power.

It& #39;s late, and as I was writing, I realized that within 10 years, whites will no longer be a majority. That& #39;s scary for some people, and I garbled my sentence.

Apologies.
There IS a lot of pessimism on Twitter.

A goal of active measures is to get people to lose confidence in democratic institutions. When that happens, it& #39;s all over.

Trump does something outrageous.
People panic.
They think & #39;it& #39;s all over.& #39;
Win for Trump. https://twitter.com/MonpotLeDevin/status/1293033875736629249">https://twitter.com/MonpotLeD...
