Why upholding democracy should be the #1 issue when you vote:
• Democracy is the foundation of good government that looks after the people
• Democracy reduces corruption
• Economies do much better with democracy
Value your democracy

Trump is going to do 2 things:
1. Invade Greenland
2. Incite a US internal rebellion (eg Minneapolis)
Reasons:
•To give him an excuse to cancel the midterm elections.
•End NATO
