The coup of the January 6th insurrectionists failed but the Republicans had a backup plan. They cheated, lied, and subverted the system to appoint 6 crooked political hacks with a pre-planned political agenda to the Supreme Court. Failing to make Trump President for life they have unleashed the Republican Inquisition they installed in the Supreme Court on women, LGBTQ, people of color, and democracy itself. They have subverted the venerated Supreme Court and turned it into a corrupted ruling junta. 6 corrupt hacks are overturning the will of the majority and enforcing the agenda of a small minority of religious fanatics and anti-democratic right-wing extremists.
This is a coup d'etat without even the fig leaf of any attempt by the justices of serious jurisprudence. They simply twist the law into pretzels to fit their political agenda and the desire of Republicans to do away with representative democracy and impose the rule of a minority on the majority. This can not stand. Many have died to guarantee democracy and the rule of law in the USA and there is no way 6 corrupt judicial hacks should be allowed to seize power and end the American experiment.
Time for Democratic leadership to treat this as not business as usual. This is a coup - the Republican extremists have declared war on democracy and will use violence, subversion of our democratic institutions and any means legal or illegal to finish off democracy in America. Republican propaganda turned liberal into a dirty word in the USA. To the point that people who agreed with liberal policies refused to identify as Liberals. Time to take charge of the narrative going into the midterms, turn the tables and do the same to the corrupt Republican hacks on the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is at the lowest approval rating in its history and it is trending down. Time for an all-out media blitz demonizing the court. Corrupt, extremist, and unAmerican… they are going to take away your social security, your health care, a woman's right to choose, the safety of your food, water, and medications, your right to vote, your child’s free public education, your right to a safe work environment. They have only just gotten started and they are obliterating everything voters voted for and replacing it with the agenda of a small group of unAmerican violent fanatics.
The leadership should stop acting like this is another day at the office that can be dealt with using traditional political tools… Those tools work with politicians that you have an honest disagreement with. They don’t work with insurrectionists. They don’t work with violent Fascists. They were never designed to. It was always assumed that US democracy was here to stay. The transfer of power after an election would never, ever be an issue. We are not in Kansas anymore Dorothy.
Time for new rules and extreme methods. Kill the filibuster, and expand the court. Why? It’s the only defense against a coup that has subverted our democracy and will take away all our freedoms. Do you want to be ruled by 6 Ayatollahs or do you want to preserve good ole’ American democracy? Just like the terrorists, the crooked unAmerican hacks on the Supreme Court hate our freedoms and if we let them they will take them all away.
