Our Democracy is in grave danger. The Republican party has goose stepped in single file behind, what everyone knows is, an authoritarian attempt to end democracy in America and keep a fascist regime (Republicans) in permanent power in our country.
The Republican cult has been working against democracy and toward fascism since Nixon tried to use government agencies to attack his enemies and Reagan secretly sold weapons to our enemies. Before Trump, Republicans spread voter suppression across the country in the states where they took control, they rigged our election system with extreme gerrymandering, they built a large propaganda network to spread lies and fear, they used the tools of legislation as weapons to block any opposition to their power, they refused to allow anyone to appoint a Supreme Court justice unless it was someone who would follow their fascist policies…
And now our government and democratic institutions are being gutted by someone who openly praises and admires fascist rulers around the world, and someone who refuses to protect our safety as we are being attacked by a hostile foreign power. The Republican cult not only refuses to take their constitutional responsibility to be a check on an abuse of power by another branch of government seriously, they are protecting and fighting against anyone who challenges their dear leader.
Trump is narrowing in on the Mueller investigation and is trying to convert the DOJ and FBI into a private Gestapo, and Republicans in congress help block any opposition to his efforts.
Alarm bells are ringing across the country, and our time to resist in the streets may be drawing near, be prepared.
Yesterday General Barry McCaffrey expressed his alarm in a tweet:
A very respected general is calling the President a threat to our national security, not due to his incompetence, but his possible treason.
Also yesterday, Representative John Garamendi in an interview on CNN called Trump a threat to our security and called for his impeachment.
Every Democrat in congress needs to start talking a lot tougher than they are and take a lesson from Representative Garamendi. I’m not sure if they are naive because they refuse to believe their “esteemed colleagues” they see every day would ever betray our democracy and help fascism take control of our country, or if they simply are too weak to stand up and fight.
I don’t agree at all with the wishful thinkers who say that if Trump gets rid of Mueller the investigation will continue, any more than I believed there was a chance in hell that the House intelligence committee investigation would be any more than an obstruction tool used by Republicans to protect Trump. If Trump and the Republicans can get away with ending an investigation into a hostile attack on our country, why wouldn’t they believe they can get away with postponing elections in the fall?
This is a very critical historic point in the grand experiment of democracy. We better be prepared to take to the streets and wake up a sleeping public that isn’t paying attention to the grave threat we all face.
RESIST!
Nov.6 isn’t just election day, it’s judgment day!
