Excerpts:

“Today, America stands at such a moment. A vengeful and emotionally unstable former president—a convicted felon, an insurrectionist, an admirer of foreign dictators, a racist and a misogynist—desires to return to office as an autocrat. Trump has left no doubt about his intentions; he practically shouts them every chance he gets. His deepest motives are to salve his ego, punish his enemies, and place himself above the law. Should he regain the Oval Office, he may well bring with him the experience and the means to complete the authoritarian project that he began in his first term.”

……….

“But Washington did set the standard of patriotic character for his successors. Some failed this test, and long before Trump’s arrival, other presidents endured harsh criticism for their belligerence and imperious ego. Andrew Jackson, for example, was a coarse and rabid partisan who infuriated his opponents; the New York jurist James Kent in 1834 excoriated him as “a detestable, ignorant, reckless, vain and malignant tyrant,” the product of a foolish experiment in “American elective monarchy.”

……….

“Trump is unlike all of the men who came before him. Among his many other ignoble acts, he will be remembered for uttering a sentence, as thousands of Americans fell sick and died during a pandemic, that would have disgusted Washington and that no other American president has ever said, nor should ever say again: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

What consequences am I talking about?

I’m talking about a nationwide ban on abortions, destruction of public education, LGBTQ+ rights revoked, increase in taxes, and much, much more.

Please vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz early or on Election Day, which is November 5th.

Tyranny.

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

— United States Declaration of Independence (ratified July 4, 1776)

To hate the tyrant, is to become the tyrant.

I'm not posting this on my fandom blog for obvious reasons, but if people would just stop clogging the Silm tag with politics right now —!

"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."

"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers."

"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries."

"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation"

"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers . . . whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

Who did you think I was talking about here? Who was the first person that came to mind on reading that? I was revisiting the actual Declaration of Independence for America's birthday...a document some 248 years old, and several of the crimes we charged King George with sound suspiciously familiar to a current former president, just changing a word here and there to match modern times.

This came to mind today when I was watching the musical 1776. Granted, it is historical fiction. However, as I was watching, the dissenters for American Independence were sounding familiar, and it finally occurred to me that people who were against American Independence were saying the same things then that the modern Republican party is now. And if your modern, 2024 political party sounds like the slightly fictionalized version of people who were against American Independence...

I will leave you with the song that Richard Nixon wanted cut from the musical because he thought it would give Republicans a bad name. And I will leave you with one last quote from the Declaration:

"A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

I wish I had been born 2000 years from now when I could read about Milei's antics in a history textbook and be amused + enthralled instead of being alive now where they constitute the basis of my material and everpresent torment.

Lo and behold -- the party of dictatorship and censorship! Masks are really off lately, huh. The Democrat panic is real. :D Remind me -- who else was saying that the 1st Amendment was "getting in their way"? P.S. More from the party who's TOTALLY not trying to take away the right to free speech and uphold government propaganda, why would you even say that:

“If you don’t date someone based on their political beliefs you are a bigot and bad person actually”

Trumpers love to say this when a friend or partner leaves them

Like bro, you wouldn’t date a purple haired leftist trans gay who votes Harris why do you assume someone owes you a relationship?

My brothers and sisters in Christ no one owes you anything just as you owe them fuck all in return

Someone cannot force you to revoke consent in any way shape or form and if your partner or friend is trying this bs take it as a red flag and book it out of there cause it’s proof they see their own wants and needs above your rights and comfort

I can't believe I got hopes up
