      Other times, a country is heading toward democracy. But as soon as the government feels like it could lose control, it uses violence, oppression and coercion to keep power http://nyti.ms/2E7C1Ze pic.twitter.com/6uXQdqIaY8

          First of all:We are a republic, NOT a democracy. Also: Could powerful media sources on both sides be partly to blame for the dividing? Are you truly seeking healing and genuine understanding of other viewpoints?

          Democracy isn't new. The Athenian had democracy. Socrates opted for death over leaving the democratic state. It's been around for a long time.

          I think they are 100% correct. This, along with many other reasons, is why we are helping our children use their education to form an exit plan from the USA.

          Unity is of utmost importance. That is exactly why those who seek to destroy the US push the "racism" narrative so hard (to divide us). @POTUS understands the importance of unity & #AmericaFirst to keep us strong. We must #ReleaseTheMemo in order for healing to begin.

          Dialogue between people with differing opinions IS democracy. One party, or one man seeking autocratic rule is something else.

          BTW, Washington's Farewell Address is read into the record by a selected Senator each year on President's Day. Typically at the end of the day where the only people present typically are the President Pro tem of the Senate and the reader (And the ghosts of principled men!).#Flag
