Bandaging the Corpse

Biden's bailout will not alter the structural inequities and other fundamental underpinnings of America's death spiral.

I imagine many democratic supporters and Biden backers are feeling relatively secure in the thought the country is now on the right path. Don't look out the windows of the east and west coastlines towards the real world if you want to remain in that illusion. Or onwards past the southern borders. Hell, just north of that border either onto our immigrants. But it's really not so rosy within the glass house either if you apply some critical thought towards accepting the storm coming at us.

{There will be no campaign finance reform to end our system of legalized bribery.}

{By refusing to address the root causes of America’s rot, by failing to pump life back into the democratic institutions that once gave the citizen a voice, however limited, and make incremental and piecemeal reform possible, by not addressing the severe economic and social inequality and dislocation that afflicts at least half the country, the anomie and ruptured social bonds that gave rise to a demagogue like Donald Trump will expand. The American empire will not staunch its disintegration. The political deformities will metastasize.}

{When the next demagogue appears, and the Republican Party has banked its future on Trump or his doppelgänger, he or she will probably be competent. The Republican Party in 43 states has proposed 250 laws to limit mail, early in-person and Election Day voting and mandate stricter ID requirements, as well as reduce the hours at voting sites and the numbers of voting locations potentially disenfranchising tens of millions of voters. The party has no intention of playing by the rules. Once back in power, cloaked in the ideological garb of Christian fascism, the new or the old Trump will abolish what little is left of democratic space.}

If you think Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is a hero, you'd be very wrong. Before Raffensperger there was Kemp. You might remember my post on the 2018 mid cycle where Kemp used interstate cross checking and other types of means to purge voters from Georgia's voting list. Kemp used his position as secretary of state at the time to win his current seat as governor from Abrams. {First, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who through this removal process — this great voter roll purge — made himself governor over Stacey Abrams, stealing that election in 2018. Before that 2018 race, he illegally removed 340,000 voters from the rolls. Then, an additional 200,000 voters more were wrongly removed in November of last year in the run-up to the current election.} As I said before, Trump and his supporters aren't really mad about election fraud, they're mad because enough people were not erased from the voting list. Well, his supporters might actually believe that fraud shit.

And as I have asked a number of times here. Where are the voices of our democrat representatives!?! These are mostly their primary voters! This has been going on for several years in republican strong states. Today these republican strong states are currently attempting to go hog wild with efforts to make sure they take back the white house in 2024 and the democrats and MSCM are doing nothing to expose the reality of the crimes being committed to do it.
