The Face of Democracy: Immigration lawyer votes straight Republican ticket and INSPIRES others

President Biden and the Democrats have been working hard to spread the message that a vote for a Republican is a threat to democracy and although that message does not seem to be working, an immigration lawyer decided to tweet about his vote and it inspired others to do the same.

I’m an immigration lawyer who represents refugees facing deportation, and I voted a straight Republican ticket. I am NOT a threat to Democracy. I’m the face of it.

We are impressed. Not because he has voted a certain way, but because he is pushing back on some pretty insane political rhetoric. Voting in a manner you feel best serves you or your family is NOT a threat to the country in any way and the left deserves any and all pushback they get on that claim.

I am 45, a CPA that worked two jobs for 10 solid yrs to become the first person in my family to graduate from college. I just voted a straight Republican ticket
I am not a threat to Democracy. I am the face of it.

We loved the variety of people who were inspired to tweet who they were and why they voted the way they did.

What an inspiring thread! We at Twitchy cover a lot of mess and point and laugh at a lot of people, but it was a nice break to just get to gather and read about all of these people, who are doing normal everyday things, but taking the time to participate in one of our greatest honors: voting for our government. Get out and vote. Get informed. Do not allow anyone to bully you into thinking you are nobody, or that your vote does not matter. No matter how many names they call you, no matter how much they scream that you are a threat, vote anyway.

You matter. Your vote matters. Go Vote.
