This is Not a Test (Day 5 Prompt: Peril)

THIS IS NOT A TEST.
THIS IS NOT A REALITY TV SHOW.
THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT.
THIS IS NASCENT FASCISM.

Democracy is in peril.

In a democracy
your vote is the great equalizer,
not wealth,
not education,

not skin color.

Do not vote for someone 
who wants to take away 
your right to vote.  

Reminds me of a
sign in my dentist's office:
ignore your teeth 
and they'll go away.

If we 
ignore democracy
we do so 
at our own 
peril.
