ABOLISH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. With the attack by Trump's crime gang in California yesterday it's clear that the entire thing is a fascist putsch against American democracy, one started decades ago when Lewis Powell wrote his memo about how to impose a fascist oligarchy on the United States, which the fascists, in the Republican-fascist, billionaire-millionaire financed stink tanks, on elite law school faculties, in the Republican party, in the corporate media have been following which has brought us to first the Supreme Court imposed Bush II then Trump I and now Trump II, in which the stupidest man to have ever been president is doing a brilliant job of destroying the country on behalf of the richest criminals, with the immunity from the law that the Roberts Court AND THE DISASTROUSLY FAILED CONSTITUTION HAVE GIVEN HIM.
Trump and his ICEstapo, the National Guard units who should have mutinied instead of following illegal orders will get away with it, they will do it again. When you listen to the MSNBC lawyers talk about how Trump is "losing in the courts" your first comment NOT QUESTION should be, HE'S NOT BEING STOPPED BY THE GODDAMNED COURTS BECAUSE THE SUPREME COURT HAS YET TO STOP HIM.
Our Constitution was a crooked deal between slave holders and Northern financial interests, it is full of provisions that they either intended or which since the Supreme Court has made into weapons against equality and democracy. The Electoral College is what gave us those two giant steps into fascism, Bush II and then Trump. That, alone should make anyone who is opposed to fascism demand its abolition AND IF THE FASCIST STATES AND TINY POPULATION STATES WON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN, THOSE STATES SHOULD SEPARATE FROM THE "PRO-SLAVERY COMPACT" Wendell Phillips called it correctly and honestly in 1845, as soon as he could read Madison's papers on the framing of the document. No one who had a voice at all favorable to the practice of slavery in that period is worthy of trust, either then or now. That would include all of those who took part in the framing of that document even the lone non-slave holder, John Adams because he went along with some of the most appalling pro-slavery-anti-egalitarian-anti-democratic features that were in it.*
America's only good history is the history of the struggle AGAINST the Constitution as it was originally written. Its only virtue has been in the struggle to make the government what the Constitution has never been, INCLUDING THE SO-CALLED "BILL OF RIGHTS" a egalitarian, and so truly democratic instrument of legitimate and just government. The major enemies of that have been the wealthy, their media, the Supreme Court, at times even when the "justices" may have intended otherwise (the Warren Court having done some of the worst damage by their good intentions) and the legal establishment which has invented all kinds of novel "interpretations" and outright fabrications, such as Court nullification of federal laws, corporate-personhood and, now, presidential immunity under the Ivy League Law-school innovation of the fascist unitary executive theory of the presidency. Anyone who believes that Amy Coney Barrett is going to turn against Republican-fascism should take a harder look at the totality of her choices on the Roberts Court because it's clear as day she's pretty much as all-in on fascism as the rest of her Republican-fascist colleagues. I'm not even sure I think Kagan is that reliable, when it comes down to it.
Trump's ICEstapo and other military agencies are attacking U.S. Citizens and Residents with military weapons and tactics. That is more a declaration of war against American democracy than the slave-power's attack on Fort Sumpter and the Japanese Imperial government's attack on Pearl Harbor. And it's the Republican-fascist party and its billionaire and millionaire owners who have done this to us. I keep making these points and having scoffers scoff at them only to, weeks, months or years later, have to face that that's what they're seeing before their eyes.
If the foolish idea that the Supreme Court is going to allow lower courts to stop him, the idea the Congress in the hands of the fascists themselves is going to stop him had any demonstrable truth in real life instead of lawyerly-liarly claims, I might revise my ideas. Slightlyi. BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE HIM AND HIS CRIMINAL ARMY STOPPED, NEVER MIND THEM BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. For crying out loud, the idiotic idea that St. Jemmey Madison and St. Hamilton are going to save us from their corrupt document was clearly always a lie. Those states and legislatures that got Madison to promise that a "Bill of Rights" would be added by the First Congress got duped because the Bill of Rights that got passed did little to nothing to fix the worst things about that pro-slavery compact, not even for white men and women and children who were held in wage-slavery (we're never to talk about the 19th century literature on that, not even when it's the likes of Lincoln who condemned it). It certainly did nothing to end chattel slavery or get rid of corruptions like the Electoral College. It didn't even do anything to end the pro-slavery ban on taxing exports, one of those things demanded by the slave-holders.
* "AI" is not only stupid, it's a liar. In fact checking one of the things I say above, the goddamned automatic Google "AI" gave a list of "founders" who never owned slaves, including Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton who both are known to have held slaves at some point in their lives, Hamilton lived in luxury supported by the slaves held by his wife's family, the largest slave-holders in New York state and he is known to have facilitated the selling and buying of slaves. He inherited slaves along with his brother when their mother died. There is no record of him ever having freed them so I assume he sold them when he moved to what would become the U.S.A. It also mentioned Jefferson's very temporarily expressed disdain for the infamous crime, when he was trying to gull the common Americans to fight the aristocrats war of independence - including the large percentage of very recently freed-blacks and white-indentured servants who fought the rich men's war. Once that was done, Jefferson became an enthusiastic advocate of his fellow aristocrats holding and breeding slaves because every slave born under their enslavement made them richer. His journals show him doing the figures on that. I wouldn't even exempt the one of the who freed the slaves he, personally held - after he was dead and they were no longer a value to him - Washington because he tired to con the escaped slave held by Martha Washington, Oney Judge, back into slavery shortly before he died. I'd like a Constitution that wasn't saturated in the blood of Native Americans and Slaves and Wage Slaves and not full of the tricks and wiles of those who drew that blood. I hope my niece and nephews and their children might, someday, live under such an honest one that takes into account the experience of living under the one we do now.
