SOME HARD TRUTHS, AS I SEE IT.
Yes, the impeachment inquiry must go forward. Yes, gather as much damaging testimony on Trump, his minions, and his enablers as possible. Yes, keep up the flood of attacks on this son of a bitch and his nightmare administration. Detail all of it.
But now for the bad news.
*Trump is NOT going to resign. Gawd, would I be happy to be wrong about that. But I don’t think I am.
*McConnell might not even authorize a trial in the Senate if the House impeaches Trump. And he’ll give that fucking little smile after he announces it, saying, in effect, “Don’t like it? Tough shit. You can’t do a fucking thing about it.”
*William Barr will continue to strangle all Federal investigations of Trump. And he’ll smirk while he’s doing it.
*Trump’s people will continue to wipe their asses on subpoenas. They will stop anyone from seeing Trump’s taxes. They will destroy records if they have to. They will go to any lengths to prevent Trump’s financial records from being examined. They will defy court orders, if necessary, and NO ONE will be able to stop them from doing so. Barr will see to that.
*The Republicans will have a huge amount of money at their disposal. That’s just the reality of it. Dark money will be donated to Trump in staggering amounts.
*The right-wingers have a strangle-hold on media across huge stretches of the United States, chiefly in rural areas. These people NEVER hear our side of things. NEVER.
*No matter how damning things have gotten for Trump, he still retains approval in the 40-42% range. His hardcore supporters would rather die than see us win.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY OUT.
So I’m going to repeat what I said earlier today.
If you are familiar with my diaries, you know that I preach Get Out the Vote relentlessly. I don’t know what else I can add to what I’ve said.
But I’m going to try.
I am 67. I have seen corrupt leaders, I’ve seen incompetent leaders, I’ve seen venal leaders.
But I have NEVER seen the combination of corruption, incompetence, and venality I have seen in the last three years.
I was a history teacher. I once thought that James Buchanan was the very worst president in the nation’s history. No more.
Donald Trump is by FAR the worst president in the history of the United States.
In my historical studies, I am usually able to find at least one good quality in the people I study.
Trump has NO redeeming qualities at ALL. NONE. There is not one single good thing about him. Not one. He is an EVIL man.
Not only is he the worst president we have had, he is the WORST PERSON we have had in office, an utter horror of a human being.
And my message to you is this. He could still make next year’s election close enough to steal. If he does, the American Experiment is over, and our Republic will die.
There is only one thing to do…
GET OUT THE VOTE AS IF THE LIFE OF OUR COUNTRY DEPENDED ON IT. BECAUSE IT DOES.
Here are the diaries I have published on these matters. I URGE YOU TO MAKE USE OF THEM!!!
A. We need to PERSONALLY contact, in a face-to-face way, at LEAST 100,000,000 U.S. voters. The reasons we must do that are laid out HERE.
B. We must EXPAND the electorate. We must turn out at LEAST 85,000,000 Democratic voters. The groups we most need to target are examined right HERE.
C. Registering new voters is KEY. Voter registration information is HERE.
D. Each Democratic activist should set a goal of registering at least 10 new Democratic voters. My thoughts on how to do this are HERE.
E. We need clear, effective talking points and a clear plan of action. My suggestions for all of these things are HERE.
F. You can already donate money to whoever ends up as Trump’s Democratic opponent. That can be done HERE.
G. Florida is a MUST-HAVE state, and Puerto Rican voters are crucial. Here’s what needs doing right HERE.
H. The women of America are KEY to our victory. Here’s why, HERE.
I. Why I am a GOTV fanatic, with some eye-opening stats, right HERE.
J. Pennsylvania is KEY. Let’s go for it! Here’s how, right HERE.
K. Ohio is KEY. Let’s go for it. Here’s how, right HERE.
L. Michigan is KEY. Let’s go for it. Here’s how, right HERE.
M. Wisconsin is KEY. Let’s go for it. Here’s how, right HERE.
N. We need ACTION in Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona as well.
Remember, everyone, Trump and the rest of the right-wing criminals will have a lot of money.
Remember, their social media campaign is going to be even more brutal and dishonest than the last time.
Remember, the hardcore of Trump voters consists of unyielding fanatics. They WILL be out in droves next year.
But we’re going to kick their asses HARD, no matter what.
How are we going to do that?
BY GETTING OUT THE DAMNED VOTE!
Let me conclude with a rant from a previous diary:
You want to end this goddamned nightmare we’re in?
GET OUT THE VOTE.
You want to give Trump the kind of humiliation that breaks people?
GET OUT THE VOTE.
You want to watch Minority Leader (or better yet, ex-Senator) McConnell seething in helpless, impotent rage as a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS passes legislation that is then signed by a DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT?
GET OUT THE VOTE.
You want to see Kellyanne Conway, Rudy Giuliani, Matt Gaetz, “Gym” Jordan, and all the other ghouls, psychopaths, liars, traitors, and scumbags hanging their heads in grief and defeat?
GET OUT THE VOTE.
You want to see decent and sane people appointed to the Federal bench?
GET OUT THE VOTE.
You want to take back your state and local governments from right-wing vultures like ALEC?
GET OUT THE VOTE.
I think I’ve made my point. I’m at the limit of what I can take. I want the Republican Party destroyed. I want Trump voted out and I want to see him ultimately die in prison. I want the criminals who run the Republican Party and the vile “conservative movement” to be RUINED. Therefore, we are going to have to MOBILIZE like never before.
OUR KEY STATES: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. (And hang on to Minnesota!!)
*************
And let me add…
There are key contests THIS year in Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Virginia, and elsewhere.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
I urge you, my beloved Kossacks, to Tweet this diary. Put it on Facebook (yeah, I know, I know). Send it to local party organizations.
PLEASE help!!
AMERICA IS CALLING ON US NOW.
