There once was a guy who would constantly lie and spread hate but had nothing significant to state in speeches, and sealed his fate.
He could have focused his energy on serving the people and his nation but instead filled his own pockets and the space he referred to as the swamp. This empty suit wasted his entire life with gaudy excess and nonsense. Most intelligent people saw right through his fake tan, hair, and meaningless stare.
One of the biggest travesties of the previous administration was how American businesses stood silently to secure billions in tax cuts. The #republicans gave to the folks who least needed it.
As the 2022 election draws near, it is important to note that his followers and supporters should be soundly rejected and defeated at the ballot box. These important votes will determine if USA Democracy survives. It will determine if dictatorship takes America. We can either be loyal to our Constitution or bow to treasonous actions.
The GOP wants to take 40 Democrat seats but the survival of our Republic hangs on the balance with a strong and robust voter turnout that keeps the House and The Senate. Vote Blue down all tickets. Demand #VotingRights.
As an experienced professor, I realize that American public ignorance is the predictable result of inadequate basic #USA education. An uneducated population opens itself for manipulation by despots and tyrants pushing absolutist dictatorial regimes with so-called leaders that use their power in a cruel manner. Make the right call in a difficult situation. Leadership is difficult, but it is time to teach our kids and our children's children to embrace Democracy.
The problem becomes acute through state governors, the contemporary “gauleiters,” that citizens who are not born in the United States will be obviated in all aspects of our total democratic participation. Priority in good jobs will be given to the American-born rather than to anyone who has been naturalized or is of a race other than whites of European descent.
Many Republican governors are now (and so has the republican party itself plus Senators Manchin and Sinema) already using public policy by limiting public housing, health benefits, creating healthcare that is separate for the underprivileged, or denying medical care altogether.
One of the most important aspects of the new nationalism is to reinstitute a national memory based on the religious right’s Christian beliefs and to make the English language the instrument of anything official. By restricting voting rights through gerrymandering that can easily be brought to fruition.
We are regressing to a historical period pre-fourteenth amendment and all this is being done at the governorship level —the gauleiter’s level. Like Odysseus’ men, many have chosen to listen to the promises offered by the sirens’ song.
Indoctrination is now beginning in the schools also by rewriting the curriculum. This is the new nationalism, and even those who have chosen America to be their homeland do respond favorably from a gut level to aspects of this type of “new patriotism.”
There is a significant difference between existential dread and a grave political issue, which requires immediate action. Believe in science and facts, not in #FatsDonNo.
Register to vote and make sure you take time ti to cast your ballot. Voting Rights is EVERYTHING
#WeThePeople reaps what we sow.
