January 6 was a big deal for Democrats as they commemorated the third anniversary of the Capitol riots, insisting it was an "insurrection" and that our very democracy--even though we live in a constitutional republic--is at stake. This was the case not only with several posts from President Joe Biden's multiple X accounts, who had also given a speech the day before about the anniversary, but with a series of posts from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). One post stood out in particular, as she was so obsessed with the idea of "democracy," that she even misquoted Benjamin Franklin. Shaheen began her thread from Saturday morning by claiming "Three years ago, insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the legitimate 2020 election results," using that buzzword that Democrats love to use. "They assaulted and injured police officers. They threatened the lives of elected officials. They put our democracy in jeopardy," the post went on to mention. Then, another post misquoted Benjamin Franklin as saying "a democracy, if you can keep it," also claiming "January 6, 2021, was a stark reminder of just how fragile our democracy is," while sending a message indicating that Democrats will keep talking about the events from that day. "It is on each and every one of us to never forget the actions that led to that day so we ensure history does not repeat itself," the post also read.

democrats only care about J6 for ONE reason, they don’t want conservative to protest.
If conservatives get in the habit of protesting the way liberals have for the last 50 years.. it is over for them, and they know it!
And they simply are out of issues to campaign on. They need a boogeyman.
The bimbo actually quoted Franklin is saying, “A democrazy, if you can keep it?” That’s the problem with female politicians. They don’t know “jack” about American history. Dumb as a box of hammers.

This insurrection was worse than the holocaust. It was worse than (fill in the blank). The insurrectionists even had a gallows to execute dwarfs. Stop the hysteria. In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists shot up the Capitol, injuring several congressmen.
I just sent her a message giving her the correct context and quote and suggested that if she doesn’t know the difference between a republic and a democracy, she is not qualified for her present position.
They also want to create a strawman “insurrectionist” Trump to smear.
And Jimmy Carter commuted their sentences.
Heck and High Water . . . The republicans will NOT dispute this fact.
I think she already deleted her dumb tweet.
The enemy of liberalism is....truth
First it was "election deniers", now they want to "never forget" January 6th. Notice the narrative they are setting...
I think she already deleted her dumb tweet.“
Well that is the method. send out a lie, let it spread and take root, withdraw it after it becomes ubiquitous, move on to the next lie.
Quoting the founding fathers is kind of funny when you’re arguing against an insurrection. (Which didn’t even happen anyways)
I guess it’s not on twitter now, but the image is there at the link.
I would not limit that to women only. Almost all Democrats do the same.
Melt down Robert E. Lee statues, but Franklin, Madison, Hamiton, etc. were insurrectionists too.
Democracy is their new word. Democracy = Communist Dictatorship
I like that. It has a nice ring to it. Democrats have become the party of low IQ frauds. Don't any of them have a conscience?
