Sunday, July 4, 2021: Independence Day
In 1776 the Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states. And thus began the greatest experiment in democracy that has ever existed. Two hundred and forty-five years later, there are enemies within working to destroy that democracy and replace it with a totalitarian state. They are called Republicans. Make no mistake, a fascist country is their goal and they have rallied a diverse group of idiots to support their cause.
Our democracy is not threatened by some foreign power, although the Russians are having a field day supporting the seditionists in our midst. No, if American democracy fails, it will be from a cancer that has spread through the Republican Party. The party no longer makes even a cursory effort to hide the fact that they are willing to destroy all that is good for the American people just to maintain control in the hands of the rich and powerful. Republicans at every level of government are working to push us over the brink. We are one election away from permanently falling into the totalitarian abyss from which only a civil war with devastating consequences could reverse.
