Or it would be comedy if it wasn’t so dangerous to the citizens of this country. Not the elite, not the rich, but you and I, the average American citizen. Yet, the Trumpist (and I insist on using that designation for what USED to be the Republican party) has only one person or group in mind. The party has been captured by the Cult of Trump to the point where that is all they are anymore.
So naturally, the idea that Black people or the LGBTQ folks might vote Democratic is something they can’t abide by because both groups have the common sense to see the writing on the wall. A group that cares about Black people doesn’t try to prevent them from voting by setting up what has been heralded as a new Jim Crow voting system. A group that cares about the LGBTQ population doesn’t try to remove their right to serve in the military. But that is precisely what the Trumpist tried to do under the orange crook himself.
Now, these hyenas are trying to overturn the election in Arizona where Biden won by approximately 45,000 votes. Even the leaders in Maricopa County are saying this is an embarrassing and pointless exercise since the vote has been recounted 2–3 times and has been validated and the votes sent on to Washington. Republican after Republican is losing respect for their former leaders as they watch them waste time and money for something that is never going to work…or at least should not.
But, of course, with their usual zest but no capability, these worshipers in the Cult of trump hired an out-of-state, no experienced, company to recount the votes.. ”just one time in case” and then shrouded it in suspicion and lies. Now, the rumor is that they have taken the votes to somewhere in Montana to a secret location. Why?
Their claim will likely be that they are doing that to keep it secure, but likely, if they are honest as we know trump himself to be, it is so they can rig the vote in his favor. However, if Maricopa county is obeying the law, and I have no reason to think it isn’t, there is a list of the votes and who they are for reserved in the voter registration offices so the vote is secure. What this little try to destroy democracy (and part of a Democratic Republic is, in fact, democracy as in the votes are counted and important) will result in is another reason for people to not trust the government or, in fact, their neighbors. And THEY talk about the US sowing the seeds of division. That is so extremely laughable.
I still think that only one thing will truly save our country. trump and his legions of enablers, especially the people that supported the insurrection on Jan 6th and continue to come up with these fake re-counts to call into question the just outcome of the election, need to pay for their crimes…preferably with several of them spending considerable time in prison.
THEN, there will be Justice and peace throughout the land, but not really until because the Trumpist’s disdain and disrespect for the actual people that make up this nation is without limit.
Unlike most other times, I am of the opinion that calling it EVIL is not hyperbole.
