Trump is in Putin's Pocket and does his Bidding
The economy is a very temporary thing, it can go up and down depending on outside forces. We are seeing this now with the moves Russia and Saudi Arabia have made. The comments by Jamie Diamond have also made an impact. This is a worldwide problem right now, but at least the Democrats are doing what they can to ease the pain. In many countries around the world, that is not the case. The economy can be fixed, but losing our democracy is much harder to do. Once it is gone, we will not be able to turn it back on like a switch.
The Republican Party Is Unwilling To Go Against The NRA
The gun deaths in Republican states are high because the NRA has a lot of power and influence. Republican lawmakers are unwilling to go against them, so they turn a blind eye to the slaughter. If Republicans gain control, we already lost on the abortion issue do you really think they will stop at that? Make no mistake, Republicans are in bed with the NRA and right-wing billionaires and they will do whatever it takes to keep them happy. The writing is on the wall, my friends. We must not let the Republicans take over or we will lose our democracy as we know it. They are already chipping away at it, little by little. They have stacked the courts with conservative judges who have overturned Roe v Wade and taken away a woman's right to choose. They have passed voter ID laws that make it harder for people of color and low-income people to vote. They have gerrymandered districts to give themselves an advantage in elections. If we don't stop them now, they will succeed in their ultimate goal - taking over the country and turning it into an autocracy where only their voices are heard and everyone else falls in line or faces punishment. The Republican Party has been moving steadily towards authoritarianism for years now. They have been eroding democratic norms and institutions bit by bit, and they have shown time and again that they are more than willing to put their own interests ahead of those of the country. If they gain control, there is a very real possibility that they will ask for a constitutional convention, which would allow them to rewrite the rules in their favor and solidify their hold on power for good or until there is a revolution that overthrows them. To think it can never happen here is juvenile. Losing Our Democracy Is Much Harder To Do Than Fixing The Economy
