(58,785 posts)That stupid fence is intrinsically anti-democratic, but hopefully would work for us by slowing any stupid hotheads from trying to "storm" the WH. Note that our military leaders have said they will not act against peaceful demonstrators. Violent attacks on the WH would not be peaceful and could force action that could benefit the Republicans. (Or benefit us by providing an excuse for the military to move into in the WH compound? I so don't know and can't guess!)
My husband and I, too old to join the current crowds in the middle of a pandemic, were just saying, though, that if the right does move forward with attempted takeover of our government, we will have to join those to take to the streets to refuse to allow it also.
Have to admit, though, that I've been wishing we still lived in the relative security of a strong blue state that will refuse. GA and FL may be red moving purple-blue, but their state governments are not.
