Once a government is committed to silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens creating a country where everyone lives in fear.” -Harry S. Truman— Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) January 9, 2021
Never thought a quote by a democratic president would get *some* people so upset on the twitter.
I found this video interesting. Giuliani shows some clips from the Capitol on Wednesday. I was especially moved to see ‘our guys’ protecting the police. That happened in Baltimore during the Freddy Gray riots, too. Unarmed citizens protecting police in riot gear gets me every time.

Truman was a good Democrat President from what I recall. Of course I was a kid.
