Leaving election districting up to the party in power, is like having your favorite sport being refereed by members of the team that’s 1st in league standings.

This is a recipe for blatant cheating & the will of the majority of people being unfairly denied.

The goal of all US election districting should be to ensure the percentage of elected seats for either party roughly matches the overall voting percentage for the party.

This is a recipe for fair representation that matches the will of the majority people.

Trump is simultaneously violating & invoking the US Constitution to …

Illegally deploy the National Guard to provide policing duties on US soil.

Respond to legal pushback against his illegal actions as “insurrection”.

The decisions of all high level leaders often result in the saving or sacrificing of lives.

In democracies these tough decisions are made for the greater good of society as a whole.

JFK Jr’s understanding “the greater good” is that of a cult leader.

JFK Jr is not just seriously affecting the lives of CDC employees, he’s putting the lives of all Americans at risk.

JFK Jr. is a walking, talking, genetically defective, convulsive, speaking impared, wormy-brained, example of how NOT to take care of your personal physical or mental health.

Homelessness, poverty, & middle class struggles to make ends meet, are symptoms of extreme wealth inequality.

Drug use, crime, & debt, are desperate attempts to cope with the above.

Militaristic & targeted police initiatives are attempts to hide the above, not a solution.

When political parties & elected representatives in a Parliamentary Democracy fail to get majority support for a Bill, it‘s known as a “Vote of non-confidence”.

The failed politicians don’t get to go on blaming each other in the media.

They have to run for reelection.

Use your favorite search engine to look up the Powell Memorandum. Current day events & the Trump Administration was the goal of this document. Republicans have been working at this for decades. Democrats have been asleep at the wheel for decades.

Why are Dems polling so poorly?

Citizens are starting to understand that Trump & the Republicans who support him are making their lives more difficult.

But Citizens also blame the people who let them get away with it.

From the Propaganda Handbook chapter titled,

Projection - Accuse your opposition of your past, present, & future crimes & misdeeds.

And use those accusations to illegally imprison your now sworn enemies.

I idea that a Governor of a State or the Mayor of a City is obligated to “protect” illegally deployed National Guard troops from unarmed protestors, is the logic of wannabe dictators.

Where TF is Hakeem Jeffries? Why isn’t he screaming bloody murder about the fact that Mike Johnson is slow walking the swearing in of elected Rep Adelita Grijalva.

#CitizensUnited Billionaires are using the politicians they’ve purchased to convert America’s Constitutional Democracy into an Authoritarian Dictatorship.

The courts are a knife in this gun fight. Their rulings are becoming unenforceable.

Trump is converting America’s Constitutional Democracy into an authoritarian dictatorship.

This conversion requires violence to complete (ICE) & will require violence to undo. There is no peaceful resolution.

Citizens have a decision to make, fight now or civil war.

Increasing poverty & homelessness is a symptom of unhealthy wealth inequality.

Crime & drug use is a desperate attempt to cope with poverty & homelessness.

Militaristic & targeted police initiatives are an attempt to hide the above, not a solution.

Americans seem to have an unhealthy default reverence & unearned respect for the adults in education who have access to innocent youth. These coach on student sex scandals seem way too common.
