This is about the fight between authoritarianism and freedom and democracy. This is the Ronald Reagan evil empire against democracy.

This is important because Ukraine is important. This is about the fight between authoritarianism and freedom and democracy.

I think that is a horrific suggestion. Zelensky is leading a country, trying to defend democracy against an authoritarian dictator, [Vladimir] Putin.

Zelensky deserved better. We owe him our thanks for leading a nation fighting on the front lines of democracy.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.

I never thought an American President would choose a Russian dictator over a democratic ally.

We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

We owe him our thanks for leading a nation fighting on the front lines of democracy – not the public berating he received at the White House.

Sorry, President Trump, we believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

I want people to think about where we will be if it becomes normal to ask foreign governments to intervene in our political process.

This is not normal. Today's Democrats hate democracy.

[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about…the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy.

The American story will be written by you, written by us, by We the People.

Some see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy and ask ‘What do we do now?’
