Democracy or Fascism – that is our choice this November. This is not a drill. This is not
hyperbole. This is not the time to stand up for your single-issue concerns. Nothing else matters if we lose our Democracy. For those of you in the back – NOTHING ELSE MATTERS IF WE LOSE OUR DEMOCRACY. If you are a true blue-blooded, card-carrying American who still believes in our Constitution and our Democracy – this is the moment for you to TAKE ACTION. FIGHT with everything you can to defend and save our American Democracy that’s worked for almost 250 years. Do not wring your hands or clutch your pearls. Do not despair. Do not get depressed. GET ANGRY – and use that anger for good.
We must get informed. Read all you can about Project 2025 and the evil people who wrote it
and are financing it. Many of America’s monied billionaire oligarchs are behind this movement and include: the Koch brothers (oil, chemical, and energy), Coors family (Molson Coors Brewing), DeVos family (Amway & Alticorp [genetics]), Walton family (Walmart), Mellon-Scaife family (banking, oil & aluminum), the Olin family (chemical & munitions manufacturing), and the Bradley brothers (educational reform, Donors Trust – helps fund far right causes). These dark money ultra-right billionaires and many others directly or indirectly helped the Heritage Foundation devise its Mandate for Leadership – Project 2025. And although Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, 31 of the 38 authors of this document were appointed to or nominated by Trump to serve in his administration or his transition team. There is no running away from this one! No surprise that Trump has lied again.
We must be aware. There appears to be a PsyOps campaign to pressure and bully Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race. The current mainstream media blitz coverage promoting anyone but Joe has gone out daily since the debate that did not go well for Mr. Biden. Some very prominent Democrats have joined in the chorus, parroting this demand. Yes, we can all admit that the debate was not the best 90 minutes for Joe Biden. But we cannot not ignore 14 million primary voters who chose Joe Biden to be the Democratic presidential nominee – that would truly be anti-democracy – because of one bad night. And let me be clear – these efforts should have occurred well before our national primary elections. It’s too late to change horses mid-stream. As of May 31, 2024, the Biden for President campaign has amassed donations of $232.4 million, out raising the Trump by about $33 million. Should Mr. Biden opt out, this war chest cannot go to any other candidate except Vice President Kamala Harris. People need to realize this fact and stop the fantasy football picks of any other presidential candidates except President Biden or Vice President Harris.
Unless and only if President Biden states he intends to drop out of this race, those of us who love and strongly believe in our Democracy must support President Biden. And President Biden has clearly stated HE IS IN THIS RACE. This is not the time to become the “Democrats in Disarray” that the GOP and the media want to promote for their own financial gains and to divide us. If the dark money ultra-right billionaires and their chosen candidate Trump win in November, all the constitutional rights that we Americans have cherished, depended on, and shed blood to protect will be taken away. Many of us may be killed, be forced into concentration camps, be deported, and worse unthinkable horrors may be inflicted on us. Too many of us and our friends and family will suffer under such a regime that would substantively change not only America but may be instrumental in toppling democracies around the globe.
I, for one, do not want to live in the conservative Republican’s fascist country. Therefore,
I implore all of us to GET ANGRY, STAND UP, AND FIGHT BACK! Let President Biden
know that we have his back! He and Vice President Kamala Harris are in it to win it.
Let’s go!
