Throughout history when governments or government officials quelled the opinions, rights and choices of its citizens often times it was met with consternation and anger. The nation of the United States was originally established to provide representation by the common MAN in the form of fair and attainable voting; we called that democracy. Eventually but with great opposition representation found its footing to include women, and after a Civil War supposedly the people of African decent. Both the woman’s right to vote and the black persons right to vote were struggles that somehow in the mind of the bigot and misogynist had nothing to do with preserving the true definition of democracy of one person one vote.
When elected officials finally looked closely at the US Constitution, they discovered that the reason for the revolution from Great Britain was indeed to provide each American with one simple fundamental idea, one person one vote. In recent decades we fought wars against tyrants, dictators, militants who believed that the populations had no rights to elect the leaders of their individual nations. In the past we waged war declaring that Communism, Fascism, Totalitarianism were the devils deceits, not the standards of a nation who prides itself on fair and equal. Then suddenly the T-Republicans with the help a few Supreme Court activist judges more concerned about ideology then justice came to the realization that as long as they (T-Publicans) promoted all kinds of ism’s like misogyny, race, homosexuality the average American would not vote for them. So rather then be an inclusive party the T-Publicans continued to exclude; not only the OTHERS who they held great disdain for, but the rights to vote by the OTHERS.
We have one day before the mid term elections, an election where issues like Gay rights, Women’s rights, immigration, wages, health care and war will be decided. The T-Publicans have used every non-democratic distraction to rob the average American the right to vote. The T-Publicans have diminished the pre voting days, they have installed the most prohibitive vote ID Laws, reinvented the poll tax, and have rebranded Jim Crow laws. The T-Publicans are smart enough to know their anti almost everyone tactics won’t get them elected, so they will keep America even dumber by excluding a group of people from participating in the American way. We fought was against Communism, Fascism, Totalitarianism calling them evil, wrong, now we have a the T-Publicans doing the exact same maneuvers and somehow they call it democracy!
