Have you heard? Democracy is in peril. The very future of our country is at risk. Our children and grandchildren are facing a desperate future. How could this be?
It all comes down to November’s midterm elections. Radical Trump supporters, the same ones that mounted the January insurrection to overthrow our government, are poised to regain control of both houses of Congress. Once they have succeeded, they will dismantle the measures recently put in place to protect women, black and brown people, LGBTQ citizens, and undocumented immigrants. They won’t stop there. Their self-serving policies will further cement economic injustice by denying climate change, crippling the IRS, and weaponizing the Justice Department. The rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer.
Our only salvation lies in defeating the authoritarian Trump supporters in November. We owe it to our children and grandchildren. We must forestall this looming disaster.
How do I know this? These and other perils were highlighted on MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross show this morning. So, it must be true.
Vote early and vote often.
