Let's talk about the most important election of your life....
One of the things I've seen online is how the quasi-libertarian, socialist-lite, hard leftist on-certain-issues blogsphere keep saying that the centrist-left is crying wolf when things are 'not that bad'. Well, fuck that. I just took a ride below I-80 (which to me is MAGAt territory, with the exception of some big cities) and the situation is fucking dire.
From blatantly lying ads about abortion to boldly endorsing Cheeto's politics and talking points (scary tactics about China, immigration, and girl's bathrooms) to homemade signs praying for the return of The Orange One. Whenever we drive around rural America, I literally fear for my life every time we leave the car to eat because I'm always ready to fight a fucking redneck bitch. And don't get me started with the stickers on those trucks (well, that's after you are able to unglue your eyes from the rifle rack).
EVERY election is important at this point (and it has always been, remember when the email lady told everybody about Cheeto being a Russian asset and about SCOTUS? I do). Every. Single. One. From local officers to senate or major or governor. Reproductive rights were taken away from people. Contraception is next. LGBTQ people are next. And meanwhile, SCOTUS has fucked up voting rights. Tell me how every election is NOT important. The corruption is starting with the fucking dog catcher.

Anyone who doesn't see Trump and his extremists as the fascist threat they are, is living in a fool's paradise with their head stuck in the sand (to mix a metaphor).
ReplyDeleteit's unconceivable to me.
DeleteBut the thing is, the conservative mind is primed for fascism, so there's that.
XOXO
What I'm seeing more and more is the 'sure thing!' the Republicans were counting on to take control of Congress is now anything but a sure thing. The time has come to kick them into the gutter, where they belong.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's encouraging, right?
DeleteI've also seen some openly MAGAts get in office with the complacency of their constituents. And we kick them into the gutter by voting. I truly hope that the apathy of the previous elections does not show again...
XOXO
Vote Val Deming to get rid of Marco Rubio in Florida.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot see how dump could run again. Corrupt Bastard!
Yes!
DeleteBut it's Florida, after all, so my hopes are not too high. And Cheeto is gonna try anything and everything to avoid being prosecuted. I hope it drags the GOP with him..
XOXO
Preach!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know!
DeleteI saw your post and I was like 'great minds...'
I'm gonna be here on my little soapbox all day...
XOXO
Each election is important, because it is one of the few occasions when the people can make their voices heard. But above all now, you people of the USA must stop or at least limit such a dangerous political class.
ReplyDeleteCorrect!
DeleteAnd people forget that. EVERY election is important, no matter what they're running for. The rot starts at the root.
XOXO
First, a heart felt welcome back. Now my comment. Yes, the mid-terms and the 2024 election will be the most important election of OUR lives. The outcome of those two elections will, I believe, effectively determine the future survival of the United States as a nation loved and respected around the world.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you!
DeleteAnd I cannot be more in agreement with you. And people do not see it. They keep getting lost in petty arguments and fail to see the big picture. Democracy is at stake.
XOXO
HuntleyBiGuy:
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, babe. I believe that Dave is right, to a point. The repugs are starting to see that the turd may not be the savior a lot of them think he is. But you have smarter ones in the wings like Desantis. So yes this is a critical time for the US. The Dems MUST make gains in both the House and Senate. That is the ONLY way out of this hell hole.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏾
Hey you!
DeleteAnd yes, many of the toxic rhetoric has been tamed but as I mentioned, there's a lot of people running on Cheeto's 'platform'. And they're getting smarter and smarter and the next one is not gonna be an idiot like Agolf Twittler.
XOXO
Big says,
ReplyDeleteHope you had an awesome weekend. Hey, this election is even more important than "Your vote is your voice." Your vote is your individual freedom. If the Dems lose, we all lose our freedom while they allow big business and the rich to tromp all over the rest of the citizenry. XOXO
I did, Big. Thanks!
DeleteAnd there's many freedoms at stake here if the Dems do not win. I'm scared because people keep thinking that things in politics are done in a very simplistic way, very black/white and it's not like that. Change cannot be implemented overnight, especially in a capitalist society like the US.
XOXO
Now is not the time to become complacent. No. Or sit this one out and wait for things to get better. This is a turning point. That pendulum has to start swinging back in our direction. I am praying (yes... me) that people with a bit of common sense have had enough of this and are ready for real change. We have to get in step with the rest of the world. We are fast becoming a joke - no better than Russia. That's why our economy sucks... because it is built incorrectly and is corrupt AF. As is our government. As is private money in government. As is our media. It's time for a bit of common sense and progress. EVERYBODY VOTE. And vote blue. No matter what. We don't need another two years of what we're experiencing. Destroy the GOP.
