2/2

The American people do not tolerate terrorism. And they use their votes to combat terrorism, honorably and patriotically, even when their very own lives are at stake. This is not hyperbole: there is a recent example where it actually happened. On #September11 when their own plane had been hijacked and the passengers and cabin crew of United #Flight93 became aware that other hijacked planes had been flown into the #WorldTradeCenter they gathered together and discussed a plan to wrest control of the plane back from the terrorists in an effort to spare from fate the terrorists’ intended target. Then they took a vote on the plan. Led by patriots like #ToddBeamer and many others, the heroes of Flight 93 were aware that they may lose their own lives in the attempt. Fresh from the vote and preparing to face the terrorists, Todd Beamer’s last recorded words are, “Are you ready guys? Let’s roll.”

The American people hold their vote as a thing that is sacred. A thing as sacred as the vote that those on board Flight 93 took that morning. The American people will not be cowed by terrorists, whatever their ilk. Even if Trump legitimately wins the Electoral College on Tuesday, the spirit of democracy will continue to shine stubbornly through whatever Trump and his lackeys throw at it. Democracy will out. And it does not tolerate tyrants.
