“You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, d@mn you! God d@mn you all to [heck]!” bowdlerised last lines of Planet of the Apes: screenplay by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling based on Pierre Boule’s novel (1968).
Sadly.. those early creators did not anticipate the likes of Fox News or realize that the concept of “Freedom of Speech” would be used to destroy the very thing they built.
Trump + his validation of white supremacists + Qanon + defunding education + tea baggers + birthers + Newt + terrified voters (horrors a Black man in the highest office!) + Covid 19 + masks + fear + returning patriarchy. I’m certain there are most causes.
New Republican symbol as it reflects their political stance, The Condom: A condom allows inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you are being screwed.
Cheese Louise, even the GOP wouldn’t be dumb enough to try to hand-cut a typewriter face into marble or limestone. Bennett really should have looked at the Traian Column, or at least the Trajan typeface. Psia krew!
BORDER: Some want A-10’s to patrol the borders. Set up just sensors and launch on warning of the A-10 2 “Thunderbolt” to have rocket assist take off and orders to “shoot to kill” anyone illegally crossing the borders leaving a red smear. NO fence and death penalty for cheating.
HEALTH: Return to pre-ACA conditions. Hospitals will not be penalized for letting you die. Burials will really get expensive so leaving bodies to be processed into food or fodder will be done. (Finally beating Lucky Duck by either the poor eating him or using him for agriculture. The mulchers will eventually be working 24/7.)
CLIMATE: Burn more carbon and the Plutocrats will be fine however outside of their climate-controlled pressure domes if you aren’t their slaves, you will wish you were.
ECONOMICS: A white slave economy along with robots is their ultimate goal.
GERNMENT: “What kind of democracy do we want to live in?,” then Senator Mike Lee, of Utah, has an answer. Just hours before the F.B.I. revealed a plot by members of a white-supremacist militia to kidnap the governor of Michigan, the Republican senator let loose a volley of tweets that could be interpreted as a shorthand version of the gospel of many on the right. “Democracy isn’t the objective: liberty, peace, and prospefity [sic] are,” Lee wrote. “We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.” Earlier, he had written, “We’re not a democracy.”
Because, it seems, a large number of Americans are boors, and they want one to represent them. Let’s hope it isn’t a “large majority of American voters”.

So…” Vote for how I told you or else” is democracy?

The GQP, declaring Make America Great Again, seem determined to undermine this democratic republic through election fraud (committed 95% by them).
