Democracy died today

[bigtree]

...we're an autocracy ultimately ruled by 9 (actually 6) unelected, star chamber justices.



Let's see if we can revive it.

1. Then King Joe uses it

to his advantage. And fuck The Fourth of July.

2. The GQP

Has been stabbing it for decades. And with the biggest knife in the hands of Mitch McConnell and courts.
We are currently bleeding out, but damnit, We can apply pressure on the wounds and survive, but there is and lot of stabbing coming before we can rebuild this democracy.
The big question is, “Is it worth it”.
I believe as do the “Majority” of Americans, you are damn straight it is. We just have to make sure that the large portion of that “majority” that sit back and reap democracy’s sweetness, and say I don’t do politics, wake the fuck up.
And DNC messaging needs to take off the gloves and start the shouting. Media ain’t gonna do it.
We are at war with them, (corp media) Russia, GQP, and all the bad Dictator’ working in unison to end us. And a Congress, Senate, many Governor's and evidently God and Jesus are against Democracy and truth.
We are very near death, but there is a way and needs to be the desire, to save it all.
This nation use to be strong enough, but this enemy is massive, international and are funded by endless cash. Gratuities, I have recently learned.
Just my two cents. (All the gratuity I can muster).

3. The Supreme Court has lost all legitimacy.

If I'm a lower court judge, governor, or President, I would now feel free to ignore their rulings with no pangs of conscience whatsoever.

And always remember, they are just nine weak men and women in black robes. They have no enforcement mechanism whatsoever.

4. I don't think it has died, but it is on life-support...

...with a team of doctors peering through the window of the patient's room with Igloo coolers in hand waiting to harvest the organs.
