My Fellow Americans…who might vote Republican:
The fate of the worlds sits on the edge of a cliff. Why?
Because those who vote for the Republican Party are willing to do ANYTHING to obtain power. To have your team win, regardless how destructive to our country, civilization, species, or planet. Put quite simply, membership in the Republican party only requires that you put your party loyalty above everything else in the universe. Everything else is negotiable, if you support installing a mentally unstable, lying asshole as our leader. This what you stand for?
Why don’t you think this is dangerous? Because for Republicans, the only important idea is for the Party to gain power. If you vote for any Republican, you are supporting a vindictive, cruel, self-centered megalomaniac to become the most powerful person in the world. Capable of single-handedly, LITERALLY, blowing up the World.
Please, Americans, Republicans, real citizens…even if it means you have to consider quitting the Republican team: I beseech you, do not vote for this. Put something above your party. Do not vote for that team. Our world depends on it.
By voting Republican,
You are putting the Party first:
Above Our Country:
Shutting down government to blackmail the country. You are willing to start a shooting war over someone flipping off our ships: Trump threatened to fire upon the Iranian Navy, then said, in the first debate: “That wouldn’t start a war.” You are willing to make partisan decisions that jeopardize the peace, justice, and well-being of our country. The Russians are trying to hack our ability to rule our nation, and you are willing to let them. The Republicans in Congress won’t investigate. The Republican in charge of the FBI won’t vouch for it’s own conclusion, that we are the subject of Russian espionage seeking to tilt our election. Because the Party is always first. The U.S. is being manipulated by Russian spies, but it benefits the Party, so it’s just fine! Really listen to that. That’s the priority of the Republican Party. Is that you? Outing CIA agents, subverting our elections.
Voting Republican now means you support ANYTHING the Party does. You risk the good name of the United States and spend millions to shut down government, because the Party didn’t get its way. You are willing to electronically manipulate the vote in favor of the Party. To gerrymander districts to gain an advantage. To cheat in any available way. What happened to truth, justice, and the American Way?
Where are you, Patriots?
Above the Constitution:
By voting Republican, you are supporting your Party over the first amendment, as Trump berates an NBC reporter until his crowd howls her name in anger. The First Amendment protects the press. Senate Republicans won’t vote because a Supreme Court Justice won't be a Republican. Party over all. The right to participate in our democracy is discarded as the Republican partisans across the country suppress the vote of those least likely to vote for them.
Where are you, Originalists?
Above The Law:
Lying to take us to war. Election intimidation. This is what you sign up for. There is a Consent Decree for Republicans at election time: a statement by the Republican Party saying that it will obey election law. Think about that. The Republican Party needs a court order to stop illegal voter intimidation activities, such as what prompted the suit in the 80’s: POLICE OFFICERS HARASSING VOTERS AT THE POLLS …WITH GUNS. This Party requires a court to tell its members not to break the law. Party, above all else. In 2000, the 5 Republican Justices voted to stop counting the votes in Florida, invoking equal protection for voters…but then said this doesn’t apply in the future to anyone who is being disenfranchised. Because it’s not the principle, it’s the Party.
Where are you, Law-Abiders?
Above Morals.
Winning is so important that you will break any honor code. Which Bureau leaks and tries to disrupt the election? The FBI, the one run by a Republican. You are endorsing the racists that back Trump, as well as the torture he longs to conduct. You are honoring a man who has made a mockery of marital commitment, who has swindled his way to riches through lies, gambling, cheating on his taxes, and stiffing people who owe him money. A man who doesn't need forgiveness because he never does anything wrong.
Where are you, Christians?
Above Common Decency.
Talking about your penis size in a debate that is deciding our leaders in front of the country? Please. Calling everybody names. Advocating violence to crowds of thousands. Scapegoating “enemies within” for our problems. Swearing, lying, disrespect. Bragging about your power to assault women, and doing it.
Where are you, Civilized Beings?
Above Self-Rule.
Are we in a democracy? Do you care about being free? If you vote for Trump, you want to be ruled by a tyrant – a cruel, vindictive, disrespectful, chauvinist. Voting for the Republican team, you are putting someone in charge who admires dictators, from Saddam, to Putin, to Kim in North Korea. Trump could decide on his own to whether to enforce any law. He's man who says revenge is one of his keys to life.
Where are you, Freedom-Lovers ?
Above Your Family:
Bragging about being able to snatch any snatch, assault any woman, because you are the one in Power. It’s perverted. Republicans. that’s what you are supporting when you vote. You are saying it’s OK for Trump to violate your mother, your sister, your daughter in the worst way, because he has the Power. And if your daughter is violated at work, she should find another career. It's OK to cheat, lie, steal. This is the human example you want to elevate. Party over principle
Where are you, Values Voters?
Above Science:
We are frying ourselves. The planet is on tilt, getting worse, hurtling toward the point of no return, while Republican Party voters plug their ears, blindfolds their eyes, refuse to accept the advancement of science in the past centuries. Why? For the Party over all, and the money coming into it.
Where are you, Sentient Beings?
Above Chivalry.
Walking in on naked 15-year olds in the dressing room, because you “own the pageant”…so you own the girls as well? Assaulting women who can’t do anything about it? Making sexual comments about 10 and 12-year-olds? Insulting young women publicly about their appearance?
Where are you, Southern Gentlemen?
Above Common Sense:
This man was on the stump yesterday, talking to himself in front of the crowd, coaching himself to calm down and stay on message! Convincing himself! This is not a stable man, in control of his own mental impulses. How can you put him in absolute Power? Imagine his finger on the nuclear button. Your common sense should tell you that putting an unstable person in absolute charge of the decision to LITERALLY blow up the world is not a good idea.
Where are you, Thoughtful Beings?
Who is in the Republican Party? If you vote Republican, what value WON'T you compromise? Do you care about your country, your fellow man, your family, your honor, your family, your morals, your conscience? If you vote Republican, you are a member of this group that forsakes all values.
If anything is sacred to you above the party, now is the time to stand up. Denounce the Party, starting in the privacy of the ballot box, before it’s too late.
