Of course it is a threat to "their democracy"... I believe it was written that way for times like these.
"A republic, Madam, if you can keep it"
" The Tree of Liberty must from time to time be watered with the blood of (true) patriots."
I try to take heart in the belief that there are more ready (percentage wise) to take up arms if needed to defend our Republic. I've read it was only a small percentage of the populace at the outbreak of the Revolution that supported divorcing this land from the Crown of England. I know in my heart there are more ready today than there were some 9 years ago. It took until 1783 for the Revolution to be won.
