Democracy must be preserved in America

-

The separatist movement is part of the coup d’état protocols in other countries, especially in Latin America. Where was our security system, especially our national security system, last Wednesday? It failed us. This was a treasonabl­e act. National defense security systems, especially those the president has to deal with, failed big time. If there’s a bright light in this, it’s that only two people died directly because of the conflict and that three other people died because of separate medical emergencie­s.

Looking through another lens, it could’ve been worse. The business of the electoral votes went on and confirmed Joe Biden as the next president of the United States. You can’t stop a great democracy. This is a test of our forefather­s’ vision of our Constituti­on and the strength of its words.
