R's have their rallying cry "MAGA", it's time Democrats have one.

"Remember the Maine" was used to whip up fervor for the war by reminding Americans of the need for revenge.
In my simple mind remember means....never forget, and reQublicOns want us to forget all about Jan 6th like
nothing happened out of the ordinary, just a normal tourist visit at the Capitol Building. I feel it's time that we
as Democrats had a rallying cry to repeat over & over so people never forget how terrible reQublicOns are.
"REMEMBER JAN. 6th" should be on T-shirts, bumper stickers, flags attached to antennas, all paperwork our
Congress People distribute, and always on their lips and ours when talking to friends, coworkers, and neighbors.
By using this everyday & every way we can we'll be reminding independent voters that they shouldn't be voting
for reQublicOns if they value Democracy. Surely T-shirt imprinters are looking for their next big seller, this
could be it. All Democratic leaning TV news shows should have a poster up that says "REMEMBER JAN. 6th"
Or if you have a better slogan, lets hear it.

1. In the real world, no one talks about Jan 6

and it's by design

The very first print and tv media photos, that kept repeating and repeating, were of weirdos in horns and costumes. They made it look like a clown show

I don't know anyone in the real world who takes it seriously

but IMO there's too much explaining to do to get this point across. REMEMBER JAN. 6th simply
reminds voters not to vote for reQublicOns unless they want our Government overthrown.

I am an atheist but I know that January 6 is an important date in the Christian calendar -the epiphany - a manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi (read MAGA for these lunatics) and as a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization.

--------------------
The revelation was supposed to be that the Slobfather is your gawd, king and emperor all in one. It is this that Fucker is now endorsing in Hungary.

Jan 6 should be celebrated for thwarting a coup and for upholding the Constitution re the separation of Christofascists from state and the orderly transfer of power. .

Think long and hard about what you want to call those who prevented the coup and who are vehemently opposed to this authoritarian madness.

Patriotic Americans is good enough for me - it is time for those who believe in democracy to take back the meaning of patriotism. Swearing to the Slobfather is not patriotism - it is treason.

9. Rs, what did you do to take away America's greatness?

Rs, what did you do to take away America's greatness?

According to Trump, he did make America great. For a short while he had the slogan Keep America Great. He even had the hats with KAG on them. For whatever reason his thinking was, it devolved back to MAGA. What happened?

What did you do to screw up America, Donald?
