That is the thrust of Sean Munger's article, which you absolutely should go read.
It seems as though the Republicans have, long ago, conceded that they cannot win a contest of ideas, of proposals. So, instead of retooling their policies to appeal to people, to try and win the minds of the voters, they have been focusing on a plan to seize power, to turn this country into an autocracy.
Munger has put forward a case that, instead, they are just going to take the country by ignoring elections. The TOFF, in this regard, and for his own personal reasons, jumped the gun on overthrowing democracy. He tried to do it by force. The Republicans are going to try and do it with the help of their imbedded fascists on the Supreme Court. If they are more loyal to their ideology than to their country, then the 2024 election will be a mere formality.
And then, well, say goodbye to a free and secure Western world. All that Putler has to do is hang on in his war for the next 27-28 months and the Republicans will deliver Europe to him, as they will also deliver Taiwan to the Chinese Communists.
Then, because nothing more will be done to address climate change, things will get increasingly bad.
So yes, we are well and truly fucked if Munger is correct.
And then they will come for the Jews, then other minorities. Because that's what fascists do.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

ReplyDeleteOur Brexit moment.
I think the Y2K nuts had it right, they just didn't quite get their grubby little fingers wrapped all the way around it: the appointment by an ideologically stacked activist court of unelected political appointees of the scion of one of Hitler's financiers' dynastic family with limited intellect, little education and no practical experience to the highest office in the land marked the end of America, we're just getting where we are on momentum.
ReplyDeleteSilver lining: think how fortunate we are to witness history unfold ... in painful slow motion
For the next century, people will be writing about the "good little Americans" who allowed this to happen or, worse, connived in the destruction of their own country.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean the last vestige of democracy will be the
ReplyDeleteleast desirable, the cartridge box?
Seem letting it happen is not a choice and the whine I
read is dark. How do we stop that?
Eck!
As I see it, the Democratic party dropped the ball and didn't put the same emphasis on winning state and local races that Republicans did. Activists were warning the Powers That Be for a long time, but all they cared about were Federal elections.
ReplyDeleteFederal elections won't mean shit if the state legislatures have the power to determine who won, irrespective of the vote count.
I think Maher covered the game state pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJvEGokuAk
ReplyDeleteWhy does Herschel Walker even have a chance of being in the senate? I'm the old man here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDuHXTG3uyY
Populism sure does suck.
