26. It won't be easy for them.

May 2021

Next time, there will be blood. The rest of us are not going to allow fascists to take over. The Democracy is worth saving. It's not as if life will go on unchanged if we allow the fascist Repubs to prevail.

I am appalled at what we are seeing. The Repubs have surrendered all their honor and fallen in a trance worshipping Trump. It's just astonishing. They say that when you are dying, you suddenly wish for life and see things differently. If you jump off a bridge in suicide, you will have deep regrets. Those that survive confirm this. I can see where those Repubs that are participating now in these despicable acts will one day claim that, oh, they just didn't know.

Well, they do know. They absolutely do. They are proving it by their voting to basically save themselves. Our country needs to know. It isn't judicial economy that they voted for. It is a coverup where there are sitting Republicans complicit in the Insurrection. They know that under Biden, the truth will come out.

Isn't Gaetz the guy who led a charge on some classified meeting that was taking place? And now he's up there advocating people get ready for, you know...why does he get to say this stuff? Is he protected by free speech, or does he get to incite a second wave right under our noses? Why is he sucking up to Trump like this? He belongs in jail. We can put him there because he can't keep it in his pants.

I believe that Pelosi stays up extra late making plans to thwart the Repubs. She's not surprised by these boys in shorts. We just have to go it alone without the participation of the Repubs. I believe that taking the vote before Memorial Day weekend satisfies the requirement of extending an opportunity of bipartisan support. The Dems are not surprised by the results. I want them to continue relentlessly to preserve our Democracy, and I want them to crush the likes of McConnell, Green and Gaetz.
