Save our democracy!
We have ONE last chance to save our democracy!
We’ve had a long time to prevent what is now an extreme emergency. The first alarm was in 2000, when SCOTUS decided the Bush-Gore election outcome. That alarm became louder and more urgent in 2009. I started to write about the alarming Republican "slow coup” in public forums in ~2010, described in this 2013 Facebook post.
Now, in 2024, it has a name: “Project 2025” detailed in a ~950-page document titled 2025 Mandate for Leadership. It’s a planned coup that calls for devolving our democratic republic to a dictatorship mixed with Christian nationalism and predatory corporations operating outside the rule of law and civil protections. And it’s no longer “slow”, because it’s almost done.
For years, right-wing Republicans have been putting pieces in place for a successful coup, while too many unaware Americans have not voted or were duped to vote against their own best interests. Consequently, McConnell and his right-wing minions in Congress are re-elected term after term.
They’ve blocked pertinent legislation since 2009. McConnell stole the SCOTUS seat vacated in February 2016 with Scalia’s death. He blocked Obama’s legitimate nominee for over a year by insisting that the people should decide in an election year. This enabled Trump to nominate Neil Gorsuch. McConnell hypocritically drove Trump’s Amy Coney Barrett nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg just a month before the 2020 election. Trump instigated insurrection, and right-wing Trumpers in Congress have blocked beneficial legislative progress and strengthened seditious efforts.
Moreover, Trump appointed right-wing lackeys to SCOTUS and stacked the lower courts with more of his minions. SCOTUS with its recent Immunity and Chevron rulings has built the legal foundation for Trump’s smooth implementation of Project 2025, if elected.
We have only ONE last defense against the loss of our republic, the rule of law, and rights and protections, such as Social Security and protecting clear air, water, and healthy food:
That ONE last defense is YOU and a strong majority of Americans voting for Democrats up and down the ballot on November 5th, 2024. This is not about partisanship. It’s about saving our way of life, our democracy, and the rule of law under the U.S. Constitution.
There's only one issue on the 2024 ballot: Save our democracy! And that’s in your own best interest! If we fail to do this, then we lose everything else that matters to us as American citizens.
