So a few hours ago, Vice President Kamala Harris certified the electoral results that officially paved the way for convicted felon Donald Trump to return to the White House.
This is a far cry from four years ago, when a seditious horde of Trump supporters descended onto the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to express dismay that their twice-impeached demagogue lost the presidential election to Joe Biden.
MAGA folks were apparently amused that Vice President Harris had to certify her own election loss this morning. Yeah, well— That's democracy in action here in the United States of America...even though this routine democratic process paved the way for a decidedly un-democratic conman to take seat in the Oval Office once again.
(And even if the U.S. is a constitutional republic and not a democracy as conservatives keep insisting, Trump should still have been barred from becoming president again considering that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in the Constitution bars individuals who engaged in an insurrection—that would be Trump—from running for election.)
Thank you President Biden and VP Harris, for doing everything you could to uphold American democracy before Trump, his shadow president Elon Musk and their band of other unqualified billionaires in Trump's cabinet bring the whole thing crashing down. We'll see what happens over the next four years as Trump's reign of idiocy returns for a sequel.
That is all.
Today, I will perform my constitutional duty as Vice President to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation — one I will uphold guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and unwavering faith in the American people. pic.twitter.com/w21HzdNxGs

We should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021 every year.

It was a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed.
And it reminds us that democracy — even in America — is never guaranteed. pic.twitter.com/0sBFM2T7bm
This is how our democracy is SUPPOSED to work, folks.

Boring and normal.
No mob attacking the Capitol.
No incitement of insurrection.
No smearing feces on the walls.
No beating cops with flagpoles.
No crowds screaming to hang the Vice President. pic.twitter.com/ABIo934e9y
