Unless We Seal Shut The Loopholes The Billionaires Lawyers And "Justices" Have Expanded To Destroy Egalitarian Democracy This Will Never End

So, all of you smart asses and wise guys, especially those in the media who cleverly repeated the line "The first person to say "fascist" looses,"  say it again, now.  Those who said, "Godwin's Law", too. 

The Republican Party is and has been a fascist party for quite some time now, if you want to argue it wasn't when Reagan was in office, it certainly was after Newt Gingrich remade it in the 1990s.  First the Supreme Court under the majority of its Republican members cancels a vote count and installs a son of an old Republican power family - with the help of the Brooks Bros. Putsch instigated by a cousin on FOX - and now Trump calling out the military on Americans.   

The Republican Party is what the hate-talk radio-Murdoch-Sinclair style media has made it, a fascist party which is an arm of billionaire thugs domestic and foreign, again empowered and enabled by the Supreme Court.

Even if Democrats sweep the elections in November they will do it again until all of the defects in the Constitution that they and the Republican-fascists on the Supreme Court - and, yes, the dumb "liberals" who had a hand in this too - used to get us here are decisively obliterated, the shreds never to be able to be put to that use again.    They hire lawyers, fund law school positions, get judges appointed to make it possible to twist words and make loopholes into gaping chasms to thwart equal justice, to thwart democracy, to impose rule by the oligarchs with a veneer of democracy - using the poison of regionalism and racism and every human weakness, flaw and failing as their tools.  They do it mostly through the media which has been not only freed by novel interpretations of the First Amendment to lie with impunity but commissioned to do it through turning money into speech.  If there's one thing you can count on with the media, they will eventually follow that money - they are profit making corporations, in the end.  

If the Electoral College is not abolished, if the Senate is allowed to stand in its anti-democratic form and given the sole power to confirm justices and judges and other positions, if states are permitted to suppress the vote and gerrymander and are exposed to partisan manipulation the way ours are, this will not ever end.
