DEFY the GOP: VOTE - Their Plan is to BREAK the Election and then Crown Trump King... Well, Reject Their Plans! Do Whatever It Takes To Defend Democracy!

What Would George Washington Do? He Fought a War to Throw the Mad King Out!

2022 is Our Last Chance to Save America from Trump... If the GOP Wins, They Will Do Everything They Can to Harm the American People... So They Can Blame Joe Biden... "See? Life With A Democratic President Sucks!" That's What The'll Say...

"Elect Trump and We'll Pass more Tax Cuts for the Rich." That's their Promise! and "Magically" That'll Make the USA Like it Was in the 1950s... before Women's Lib... before Gay Rights... Back when Negroes Knew Their Place... Back when We Deported Mexicans when the Harvest was Over!

That's the Republican Plan! DEFY THEM! 

Bar Chart - US Federal Deficit - Red vs Blue - GOP FAILURE

R's want to use the deficit as a reason to SLASH SOCIAL SECURITY forcing people to work until 75 and to be on the street at 90.
But THEY RUN UP THE DEBT and Dems work to bring it down, and then THEY USE THEIR RECKLESS SPENDING ON TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES AS A REASON TO CUT SERVICES TO EVERYONE ELSE.

Maybe You'll Have to Risk Being Arrested for Voting Just like Governor Ron Death Santa did in Florida... Maybe You'll Have to Stand in Line for 10 Hours... Maybe Rednecks With GUNS will be "Protecting" the Polls... WhatEVER! 

DEFY the GOP - VOTE!

There is much banter floating around about not voting, because voting is just voting for the lesser of the two evils. Well let's look at a scenario. You're in a river. You don't swim very well and the water level is just below your nose. A boat comes by with two people in it. One of them tells you you should have planned better in your life an learned to swim or at least wore a life preserver (which you couldn't afford) and basically you will have to fend for yourself. The other one tells you that if you swim just a little closer to the boat they will grab you by the groin and pull you into safety.
Now sure the second choice is not all that good (lesser of the two evils) but it sure the hell beats being a corpse floating down the river.

The Real Question on the 2022 Ballot - Democracy? Yes or No?

DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE
A vote for the GOP is a vote
for you, your family,
and everyone you know,
to be enslaved,
to be subjugated,
to be suppressed,
by a ruthless autocracy,
a tyrant,
a dictator.
A vote for GOP,
until the grip of Trumpism (aka Putinism) is lifted from the radical right and they come back from mass delusion,
is a vote
AGAINST
Democracy,
Freedom,
Liberty,
and all our Rights.
A vote for GOP,
because you’re pissed that prices are going up
in a world wide wave of inflation,
caused by PUTIN’s evil war against democracy,
is in fact handing power
over your life
and your freedom
to election deniers
drunk on mass delusions and
fantasy conspiracy theories.
If you can’t be bothered to vote at all,
that is in fact an action in itself,
in support of
a GOP dictatorship,
which may
destroy our democracy,
our freedoms,
and our way of life.
REGRET is a horrible thing.
Don’t risk living the rest of your life with the deep regret that
if only I had voted
against GOP autocrats,
if only I had convinced and supported more democracy-loving friends and family of the urgency to vote this year,
to keep our freedoms,
that we would not have
lost it all.
2020 was the most important vote in our lifetime,
to remove a dictator in the making, while we still had the right to vote,
but even then,
on Jan 6th,
the mass deluded radical right
still tried
and came close
to taking it all away from us.
2022 is the next test of our resolve
to remain Free,
to remain a democracy.
What is your
Freedom and Liberty
worth to you?
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE
VOTE to keep our
freedom and democracy
WHAT WILL YOU DO?

DEMOCRATIC POLICIES QUITE POPULAR, GOP NARROWMINDEDNESS, GREED APPALL MOST AMERICANS: SO LET'S KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE ISSUES
By HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
October 18, 2022 (Tuesday)
In their year and a half in power, Democrats have put in place policies that are widely popular—indeed, the infrastructure projects provided for under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act are so popular that Republicans who voted against the law are nonetheless taking credit for them. Voters have long called for Medicare to be able to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies (83% in favor), now made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, which also caps certain drug expenses, including the cost of insulin. Between 80 and 90% of Americans want basic gun control laws—the Democrats just passed the first one in decades—and a majority want funding for action against climate change (65%) and relief for educational debt (55%).
Support for supplying Ukraine against Russia stands at 73%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in early October. Support for Ukraine was a bipartisan commitment that changed only after Trump had the 2016 Republican platform, which had expressed support for Ukraine, watered down.
What has not been popular in the past year and a half, in fact, what has been quite unpopular, is the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. About 62% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while only 8% believe it should be illegal in all cases, and 28% believe it should be illegal in most cases.
Since June, when the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision, the news has reported multiple cases of raped children unable to obtain abortions in their home states, girls and women unable to obtain medications to treat long-term illnesses because those drugs can also induce abortion, women diagnosed with cancer who cannot get treatment, women whose fetuses have conditions incompatible with life and who cannot terminate the pregnancy, and women whose health is at risk as they are unable to obtain the healthcare they need as they are miscarrying—all of this just as abortion rights advocates warned would happen if the court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since the Dobbs decision, Democrats have outperformed expectations in four special House elections and one state referendum.
The popularity of the Democrats’ agenda and the unpopularity of their own appear to have pushed the Republicans to go for broke, courting their base by demanding the utter destruction of Democrats’ policies and the reinstatement of their own.
Since the 1980s, Republican leaders have embraced the idea that cutting taxes and concentrating wealth at the top of the economy will spark economic growth, although “supply side” economics has never produced as promised. They insist the programs Biden and the Democrats back are “socialism,” and their base agrees. Their base also hates abortion rights.
To sidestep the gulf between their base and the majority of voters, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declined to announce any sort of an agenda before the midterm elections, telling donors that party leaders would just attack the Democrats.
There have been signs, though, of what the Republicans will do if they regain control of one or both of the houses of Congress, and top of the list was cutting the programs at the heart of our social welfare system: Social Security and Medicare. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) called for sunsetting all laws every five years and repassing them; Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) called for making Social Security and Medicare part of the discretionary budget, meaning their funding would have to be reapproved every year.
Republicans have also said they would pass a law to make the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations permanent, a move economists say would increase inflation. “The trick is to put the president in a position of either getting defeated in 2024 or signing your stuff into law,” former House speaker Newt Gingrich told Jeff Stein of the Washington Post. “Republicans will make it a priority to continue the Trump tax cuts, because it puts the Democrats in a position of being for tax increases and against economic growth.”
Recently, though, Republicans have been much clearer, warning that they will refuse to raise the debt ceiling in order to force Biden to agree to their demands to “reform” Social Security and Medicare by raising the age of eligibility and means testing. (Democrats have said they would stabilize the programs with higher taxes on the wealthy.)
This is a huge deal. While Trump has urged MAGA Republicans in the past to use the threat of the debt ceiling to get concessions, responsible Republicans have refused to play chicken with the global financial markets and with our own financial future, for defaulting even for a matter of hours will wash away our financial might. Raising the debt ceiling is not a future blank check, it enables the U.S. to meet bills it has already incurred, and refusing to do so will throw the U.S. into a catastrophic default. Congress has raised the debt ceiling repeatedly in the past forty years, but Republicans have apparently come around to Trump’s position that playing to their base is worth taking the U.S. hostage.
Republicans are also signaling a change in U.S. support for Ukraine. Although current Republican leaders have supported aid to Ukraine, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) suggested today that if the Republicans regain the majority thanks to more MAGA candidates, they will oppose giving more aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia. Putin has just launched the largest wave of airstrikes against Ukraine since the early days of the war, hitting civilian areas with the plan to cut off gas and electricity before the winter.
And, of course, after the Supreme Court justified striking down Roe v. Wade by saying abortion should be a state decision, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced a bill to ban abortion nationally. (Today, Biden pledged to push a law protecting abortion rights if voters return the few more lawmakers Democrats need to accomplish that.)
Republicans have sold their unpopular program in part by maintaining a narrative vision of the world that tells MAGA supporters what they want to hear. Since the beginning of Trump’s term, a key part of that narrative has been that the FBI investigation of the ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian operatives was a witch hunt. In April 2019, Trump's attorney general William Barr tapped U.S. attorney John Durham to discredit that investigation.
Journalist and professor Bill Grueskin collected the headlines from the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page for the past year. They read: “Durham Cracks the Russia Case,” “Durham Delivers on Russiagate,” “John Durham Shows How the FBI Lets Its Informants Mislead It,” and so on.
But that’s not how it panned out. Durham ultimately indicted three men. One pleaded guilty to altering an email in a different case; he got probation. Durham accused another of lying to the FBI; a jury acquitted him. Durham indicted a third, Igor Danchenko, for lying to the FBI; today a jury acquitted him as well. Durham used the trial to rail against the FBI, but his inability to win a conviction after more than three years of work undermines the MAGA narrative that Durham was going to find the goods to pin a witch hunt on bad FBI agents and acquit Trump once and for all.
A new audiobook from veteran journalist Bob Woodward tore down another MAGA story today when it revealed an audiotape of Trump calling the letters he wrote to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “top secret” in January 2021. Clearly, he knew they were classified, despite his claims now that he didn’t take anything special. Further, he let Woodward see and transcribe the classified documents.
Will the puncturing of these narratives matter? At some level, no; they are about mythmaking and social identity. Today, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated her visit to the Wilder Monument at the Chickamauga (she misspelled it) battlefield in Georgia. She identified the monument as honoring Confederate soldiers and boasted that she “will always defend our nation’s history.” But, in fact, the Wilder Brigade, also known as the Lightning Brigade, was not Confederate; it was from the United States.
The point, though, was likely not accuracy: it was to “own” the “Libs” by celebrating the Confederacy.
Will reinforcing that identity for the Republican base be enough for the party to win the midterms? It’s anyone’s guess. But today, the first day of early voting in Georgia smashed the state’s previous record for first-day votes cast in a midterm election. In 2018 the first day of voting brought in 71,000 voters. Today that number hit more than 130,000.

Ronald Reagan's Campaign Slogan "Let's Make America Great Again"

"Let's Make America Great Again"

If America is to become Great AGAIN, there Has to Be a YEAR When it Was Great to BEGIN WITH! 

I Wonder, When Exactly Was He Speaking Of?

Was 1848 in the American South the Perfect Time? Slavery Was Legal and That Allowed Plantation Owners to Live a Work Free Life. Women Did Not Have the Right to Vote. Gays Did Not Exist... and No Hippies!

And then When Donald Trump did his Copy Cat Slogan Hijacking... His Favorite Time When America Was Best was 1775... We Had a King! and Donald Wishes We Had a Time Machine so he could Go Back Then and He Would Be the King!

Trump's Second Favorite Time was "The Fifties" when "Father Knows Best" and "Happy Days" were Perfect Examples of American Life... No Back Talking Women's Libbers, Abortion was Illegal, The Pill had not been invented, No Hippies, Blacks "Knew their Place" and we were free to Hire Mexicans at Half the Wages Americans Worked for... and Most Importantly...
