Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself - John Adams

Hello, I am John Adams, the second President of the United States, a Founding Father, and a lifelong advocate for liberty, justice, and the rule of law. One of my most quoted warnings is this: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” When I spoke these words, it was a caution born from history and hard-earned experience. In my time, democracy was an experiment—fragile, unproven, and constantly under threat. It required vigilance, sacrifice, and a moral compass rooted in the collective good. I understood then, as we must understand now, that democracy is not self-sustaining. It can erode from within when the people who bear its responsibilities falter. #JohnAdams #DemocracyNow #DemocracyMatters #informationwarfaremagazine #InformationWar #InformationWarfare
