In case you haven’t noticed, our democracy is being dismantled.

Trump and MAGA followers know they can’t win a fair election because we Americans don’t want his Iran war, like we didn’t want him to tear down the East Wing, like we don’t want his name on the Kennedy Center and don’t want his ballroom, gold statues, arches and gilding of the White House.

He can’t win a fair election because our prices are sky high, and he just said he doesn’t care about the financial suffering of Americans: His agenda is all that matters, and the next gold statue of him, and his name on more of our nation’s monuments.

It’s sickening that our politicians lack the courage to stand up to his grandiosity. And now his faithful follower Gov. Landry is doing all he can to take away voting rights even to the point of maneuvering, so the legitimately elected Calvin Duncan is deprived of the clerk’s office.

The axiom is clear: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Remember, he said we won’t need to vote, just leave our future in his greedy reckless hands.

If we want to save what’s left our democracy now is the time to protest these attacks and protect our right to vote.

You’ll notice that it’s always only republicans that put forth voter suppressions bills and measures. Republicans know that their policies are absolute dogshit but they count on the uneducated and ignorant to be single-issue voters that they can provide fictional boogeymen to.

If elections were free and fair there would never be another Republican president again.
