Enough
Most American citizens have finally had enough of Draco II and his sycophants, Project 2025, White Christian Nationalism, their pushed hate and fear and chaos and blaming others.
And it now seems that most Americans are saying “enough” already to the 30% or so of Americans that love bigotry, love to discriminate against others, love to control others, and who are ready and willing to use violence first and ask questions later. Draco II is part of that 30%.
But, so are some of our neighbors. They can’t change their minds just yet as they have been brainwashing and hornswoggled by nefarious powers. So, we have to learn to live with them – out of power, of course – until enough generations come and go and the sins of the father are no longer passed down through their sons. Every generation has these folks, hiding themselves from sight, obscuring their identity under hoods, now behind masks, driven by love of fascism. Now fully displaying their anti-democratic powers, the current Draco II administration is proving most Americans they want more than what these 30% offer: people that want authoritarianism and a dictatorship can NEVER be entrusted to lead America again with their divisive, racists, profit-first, and elitists mindsets. Yes, other parts of the world are subject to the power structures of these types of unhuman mindsets, to authoritarian and dictatorial political structures where many people are getting hurt and/or killed as a result, but that doesn’t mean that America must follow suit.
Even with our less-than-stellar history, America used to be looked up to, used to be the world’s leader, but no more. Draco II wants to be like Erdogan, Orban, Putin, Xi and we cannot let that type of structure manifest here in the U.S. Never believe anything that the current federal administration says as long as Draco II et al are entrenched in power. Never.
Democracy is on the ballot this November if Draco II doesn’t find a way to stop or rig the election. He’ll try is best, using any and all excuses to justify his dictatorial moves, but don’t be fooled. America deserves better than a wannabe king and we cannot be led by sycophants that will always kiss Draco II’s ring, kowtow to his wishes, bend a knee to his faux-leadership, throwing everything at democracy to break its back. Don’t let that happen! Get out and vote no matter what obstacles Draco II puts up to stop us! No Kings! Enough of Draco II et al!
Draco II has already shown that he is willing to dictatorially go to war without the consent of the governed, and he will do whatever he can get away with to stay in power: that’s what dictators do. But Americans still have the opportunity to boot him out of power. Do you part to make that happen or we all will suffer the consequences. Bob Bates Tullahoma
