There Is An Evil Sweeping Across The Land!
This is no doubt one of the most consequential elections in the history of the U.S.
Democracy is on the ballot. Reproductive rights and personal choices are on the ballot. Social justice and equality are on the ballot. Voting rights, Civil Rights and the future of free and fair elections are on the ballot. The livelihoods and healthcare of your parents and grandparents are on the ballot. Truth is on the ballot. The health, lives and security of our children are on the ballot. The Republican Party has been overtaken by conspiracy theorists, radicals, and extremists beholden to a con-man and self indulgent and think skinned narcissist in a cult-like following. More so now than ever before. Republicans with a shred of credibility are forced to cower in fear of reprisal from the cult leader and his domestic terrorist following. The Republican Party has no platform other than to do the bidding of their "nice leader", attempt to gain power, maintain their deep pocket corporate donations and cushy lifestyles. They use deceit, demagoguery, fear mongering and projection to manipulate and control those who are considered their base and to suck in those who are not. Currently they are using fake patriotism, inflation, gas prices, crime and immigration as their main weapons to strike blows to the heads of their following and blaming all of the current issues on the current administration and the Democratic Party. Inflation is global, and the U.S. is doing significantly better that most other developed countries. Gasoline, oil, and other fuel prices an influenced in part by the invasion of Ukraine, pricing control of OPEC countries, supply and demand, and corporate greed ( a specialty of the Republican Party). The economy related to food and consumable goods is also influenced in a big part by corporate greed and monopolies. Prices increased when there are record profits. Crime is a constant. Violent crime is more prevalent in those states that are Republican controlled, and gun violence is a direct result of the GOP/NRA absolutism in opposition to sound gun control efforts that are favorable to over 65% of the population including NRA members. Crime increased significantly during the previous administration but the GOP will never disclose that during their gaslighting. One reason for crime is directly linked to the demagoguery, xenophobia, and mainstreaming and embrace of the alt-right extremists by the former occupant of the White House. Our country has a long heritage of immigration, from our inception. Immigrants helped to build this country, and while the Republican Party would like to erase and re-write history, that includes slaves, and other indentured immigrant ethnic groups.
The entire future of our country is at stake. Democracy is on the line. If the Republican Party is able to gain power, they have already put things in play to ensure they will never again lose power. That is fascism. The majority of Americans do not want a king, dictator, nice leader, or emperor. The majority of Americans do not want an autocracy controlled by extremists and lunatics.
Who runs our country, or represents us is up to the majority of the voting population in a democracy. The Republican Party plans to end that.
Sane, democracy supporting citizens are a majority of the population, but they don't all participate in the electoral process. Many are prevented from participation due to efforts of the Republican Party with their voter suppression, gerrymandering and electoral fraud. We must save our democracy! This is not an election to sit out! We must make our voices heard, we must preserve our democracy. We must defeat the Republican machine until they can rid themselves of the kooks, Q-wazies, lunatics, and extremists and become a viable Party again.
