“The important consequences to the American States from this Declaration of Independence, considered as the ground and foundation of a future government, naturally suggest the propriety of proclaiming it in such a manner as that the people may be universally informed of it.” (John Hancock)
When can their NO longer be, JUST one more contemptuous, corrosive, corrupt activity by Donald Trump, against the laws and regulations established by the Individuals who DID establish the groundwork and frame our Constitution? I am not naive, to believe that the Republican Party is unaware of the desire for the democratic process to diminish, but rather found it, at first to play to their base, which they understood to thrive on FEAR. A FEAR implanted a few decades ago, by an electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans. The "Southern Strategy" refers primarily to "top-down" narratives of the political realignment of the South which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white Southerners' racial grievances in order to gain their support.[5] This top-down narrative of the Southern Strategy is generally believed to be the primary force that transformed Southern politics following the civil rights era.
But then, as we all, those of us in America, whose desire to communicate our differences and truly debate the issues in that gray area of good or bad, right or wrong, and educate as to exactly what is natured and what is nurtured, the unique qualities between the two, discovered that men like Trump, whose only concern is to himself, had different intentions, and permission to steamroll the American way via the invasion of Putin and his team of Russian Oligarchs (a word hardly ever spoken just a decade ago.) The interesting dynamic we are witnessing, is that Trump wants to build a wall to divide, but he and his Theocrats, and Plutocrats, and fringe elements of Fascists, and Confederates want to tear down the wall which has divided church from state, which was erected to establish “checks and balances,” and were intended, albeit, the most difficult, one person one vote. We The People can no longer let one more lie linger, one more bribe blossom or one more intentional act of corruption conspire. FEAR is the game the Republicans play, FEAR is how Putin survives his authoritarian regime in Russia…so why shouldn’t the American people demonstrate in the millions and march on Washington and let Trump and ALL of his GOP enablers that we are no longer afraid? And just one more thing about FEAR! Dear Speaker of the House Pelosi, stop being afraid that if you act now on Impeachment, your Party will suffer the consequences in the future. The way Putin/McConnell/and Trump are behaving, there just might NOT be any free elections in the future, be more fearful of that!
