Voting results

It’s way past time when the gloves should have come off the Democrats’ fists in this battle for America. Maybe if they and intelligent Republicans consider the following we can save America from radical Republican destruction. I am an Independent American who votes for America; not either of the current groups of people who want it exclusively their way.

In this battle for America, it is clear by personal statement, repeated action and support of radical organizations like MAGA and Project 2025 that this drive for exclusive power belongs to the Republican Party.

To that end let me acquaint all readers what you, your loved ones, friends, relations, a parent or grandparent may lose and/or gain when Donald Trump and other radical right MAGA-type Republicans are elected. They will most certainly lose or have radically reduced: Medicare, Social Security, separation of church and state, public education funding, voting rights, PBS, NPR, freedom of speech, women’s rights, environmental protections and freedom of the press to name a few we take for granted today.

What will we “gain?” Censorship, soaring taxes (middle class only), schools for the privileged, world distrust, fear of reprisal for liberal, non-white, Protestant, middle-class citizens (that’s bigotry), profiteering by big business, massive price increases on imported products, massive reductions in sales abroad of American products and the worst one, intimidation by the radical right of anyone who doesn’t agree with their right think.

So, why do you want to stagnate under Trump’s oppressive weight of radical conservative right think?

Against Harris

Evasive Kamala Harris says we need to turn the page.

Americans wonder: from tyrannical Marxism to an outright communist hell? Is that her brand of reimagining democracy, from a tyrannical media-weaponized dictatorship to a real Stalinist-type communist hell?

That is a question freedom-loving Americans have a right to ask and personally decide on.

Look at the takeover of the “smash and grab” movement still going on, defyingly ruining struggling businesses, without accountability and impunity.

Beware of those who fail to accept responsibility by lying and blaming others. That’s not leadership timber, that’s someone on a power trip.
