1. Elections matter.

[LearnedHand]

2. Never, ever elect a person who says "I alone can fix it"?

And all of the above? With literally all of it broken, it’s hard for a most important value to rise to the top.

3. It would be better if it was 'which did Trump most destroy' ...

And allow us to pick 'up to all of them' (though I know DU doesn't allow that).

4. Common decency

5. Voting rights, however...

It also strongly reinforces that there need to be consequences for abuses of power and crimes by those at the highest levels of Government. The lack of major consequences for Nixon and W is, imo, part of how we got here. If Trump et al are not held to account, there will be a next time. And we might not get a chance to get out from under that one.

6. US democracy is not guaranteed, constitution is not guaranteed

requires active participation to keep both.

12. Certainly not, especially when truth struggles as it does in social media nt

7. The fragility of our democracy.

Trump pretty well demonstrated that a president who wants to seize power can. Trump was not very bright and didn't really have any ideology besides his own glorification. But a determined ideologue who manages to get elected president can end our democracy. We need to strengthen the protections of our government.

8. The essential of the common good

And yes... truth, honesty, goodness, charity, integrity, valor and so much more. It will be refreshing to welcome their return.
