Couldn’t believe it passed unanimously. If you are that afraid. Retire. Let someone else have a chance to fight for our democracy. That was the last straw for me. Will no longer consider myself a democrat. I cry every single time children get shot in school. Stand up for them don’t honor a fascist.
