The destruction of American democracy

The Republican Party has spent the last 50 years trying to attain absolute power and to destroy American democracy.

Well, they're in total control now.

One more seat on the Supreme Court and they own America.

Don't buy this scenario? Think about who the Republican presidents have been for the past 50 years.

Richard Nixon
Gerald Ford, (who wasn't there long enough to do much damage).
Ronald Reagan, -- an amiable imbecile whose wingnut staff was fucking America.
George H.W. Bush, who won using racism but wasn't nearly as bad as the others.
George W. Bush, who waged war against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.
Donald Trump, the stupidest person to ever occupy the White House.

Their success in fucking America is mind-boggling. Who would have figured they'd be so successful.

And if that "blue wave" thing doesn't happen, they will be in complete control. Perhaps forever.

American democracy is standing on it's last legs. We need a voter turnout this November that will be larger than anything in history. Republicans will block it, "lose" votes, distribute false info about voting places, intimidate voters with their bot calls, and do everything in their power to steal another election.

It's up to each and every one of us to show up, vote, and smash their illegitimate, fucking death hold on America and our freedoms.
