Oh, Democracy support...?
Yes, babes.
We're all asking that same question. Here’s @RuthBenGhiat, who is a well-known historian, to give us some answers. She’s here to help us understand how the amount of fuckery that we face every motherfucking day is affecting the 'best country in the world'.
Oh yes. I put that in quotations. Because, honey, it's debatable, at this point. Especially with Cankles prepping the way to deny upcoming elections, ICE killing people in the streets and the Rule of Law almost a thing of the past.
Watch and learn. And then we'll talk.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteFrom Ruth’s lips to EVERYONE’s ears. We must act now and stop this movement.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
I think she's very optimistic at the end, but she's the historian.
DeleteI think Cankles is doing immense damage to this country.
XOXO
Less talk and more action, in the streets, at the polls, online, everywhere.

I find the Dems too sedated for the state of emergency we are living.
DeleteReally. Too. Fucking. Polite.
And if I meet anyone who decides NOT to vote, that's the last time they will see my face. Fuck them.
XOXO
I couldn't agree more Six!!!!! WAY TO SEDATED! And they better wake up and watch who is getting elected in the last few primary elections....progressives! True progressive and the Mandani likes....and he is delivering on his promises. Unlike Jefferies and Schumer who are not and wouldn't even endorse him or lend help. The party best wake up and see what Dems want and start helping and supporting progressive not the Centrist dems or are two inches from being republicans, and vote way too much with them.
DeleteBig says,
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope she's right that we'll stop this coup and then REFORM the institutions that have started to crumble due to the SCOTUS. Thank goodness lower courts have stood up and begun using the SCOTUS rulings to stop the bullshit --- and referring his lawyers to their Bar associations for sactions is a very good start.
WE must continue that and VOTE.
XOXO
I think she's positive, but I dread she's too optimistic.
DeleteThe problem, like you said, requires reform. The American political system has been an honor system until now. When we have a mafia boss in the White House.
XOXO
The political system and it's members is more fucked up and greedy then it has ever been. I still have no hope in any of it.
DeleteThe USA (and any other country where the extreme right gains power) is in extreme danger. People CANNOT be complacent about what is at stake.
ReplyDeleteIt's discouraging.
DeleteThe radical right/nazi fractions of government are taking over huge swaths of population everywhere. They love the grievances and the ignorance.
XOXO
Les éléments réactionnaires ont toujours été le problème, avec leurs faux récits et leur incitation à la violence. Ils méprisent la démocratie.

Le Pen, am I right???
DeleteShe was SO FUCKING CLOSE in France. My friends there were terrified.
Fascists everywhere.
XOXO
I like Ruth, I follow her substack. Democracy will survive. Fascism always dies.
ReplyDeleteShe's very intelligent.
DeleteI follow her also.
XOXO
Vote vote vote….
ReplyDeleteIKR..?
DeleteIt seems so simple, yet a HUGE percentage of people just does not bother to do it.....
XOXO
They will be sorry if they don't.... when they end up broke and can't afford anything, and have to decide whether to get meds or eat.
DeleteWe have for years viewed other countries that didn't have a democracy and were in disbelief and disgust for what we saw and were grateful we didn't have a government like that. Yet....here we are. I still can't believe we let this happen. Next election every ass better be at the voting booths or mail in.
ReplyDeleteIKR?
DeleteBut here we are. It's almost impossible to recognize this country now. I hope this situation wakes some people up. Now.
XOXO
