I had been lulled into the sense of complacency by the time of the attack on the US capital on January Sixth 2020. I was on edge through most of the elections, and pins and needles from the time the counting started until Pennsylvania was called for Joe Biden. Then the last of the crazy law suits brought by the Trumpsters crazy lawyers.
Many of the politicians and the TV talking heads were saying that “This is the most important election of our lifetime”, and it was. I can not even imagine how bad it could be now if the Trumpsters were still in the white house. And so is this election. Just like the Super Bowl every year is the most important game of the year. So is the election every year the most important, only it is not a game. This is a contest for the continuation of our country as a functional republic.
We (The USA) survived the attempted coup d'état of the last election of 2020 by the Republican leadership. The sixty three law suits filed to challenge the already certified counts in the several states, that all failed. Then attempts to appoint alternate slates of false electors in several states. The full out assault on the capital on the day to certify the results of all the states elections on January Sixth. The crazy “Forensic” re-recounts in Arizona and several other states. The refusal of the people around the Trump gang to come and testify for the insurrection investigations of the January Sixth Committee, while lying about it out in public media.
This is not over. The Republican Party criminals will not quit, they have to much to loose. Whether it is time in prison, or loss of the giant fat cat bribes. Bribes that are destroying the foundation of the republic and the Constitution, ever since the insane CitizensUnited decision of the Supreme Court in 2010. Vast amounts of untraceable dark money in every kind of local and national political campaign. As our former President Jimmy Carter framed it, “The country has become an oligarchy of unlimited bribery.
The Supreme Court is now way beyond any authority or powers ever granted in Article Three of the US Constitution. They were never granted the authority or ability in the Constitution to define words or redefine words. Plane and simple, Corporations are not People, and Money is not Speech.
Now after years of obstruction of appointments to the courts by Mitch McConnell during the Obama years. Then with the very fast appointment of several extremest Justices to the court in the trump years. Who all committed perjury in the appointment hearings with the Senate. All claiming that Roe v Wade was well settled in law before being confirmed to the court.
There were discussions during the Constitutional Convention and the adoption of the Amendments, to also include medical freedom that document. This did not happen. Even back then, the idea of how important medical freedom was, was very well recognized. Now the fundamental right to medical care by women is in danger of being regulated away or even criminalized by these Republican extremists.
Not just voluntary Abortion, but even to criminalize birth control and
prevention. No exception for a spontaneous miscarriage of a fetus
with genetic congenital or other problems. To say nothing of the
states ready to institute trigger laws that have no exception for rape
or incest. And then to criminalize women that have gone through
that. That is beyond crazy, that is amoral, heartless and cruel.
The Republican leadership say they value freedom, say they want to
protect babies, even before they come out of the uterus, but do not
want to protect the women. They refuse to support common sense
gun ownership restrictions, and let thousands of kids die of gun
violence. Guns are now the number one cause of death in children in
America, even more than car wrecks.
The words of these Republicans in leadership do not match their
actions. What is it? What is more important? Money from the gun
lobby, or to protect our children? Forcing women to carry a child to
full term even if it kills her? Forced birth or freedom? Which is it?
We are again at the point of the most important election in our life
time. The Super Bowl of Democracy. Every year is the most
important election, even the off year elections for governors, mayors
or school boards. The tyranny of the few crooked oligarchy in the
Supreme Court and a few hundreds of Republicans in leadership in
DC, and the several state capitals. We can never allow this to
continue. End the Republican Party. Never support a republican or
corporation that supports Republicans and this attack on our country,
until the ship of state is set aright. They seem to forget the part that
says “We The People”.
