What if we watched Trump self-destruct and spend our time educating....

Americans have been hoodwinked into voting conservative values while the Supreme Court has done its best to undermine democracy. These oligarchs who have cozied up to a wannabe dictator got free rein only because of the Citizens United decision. And this court is very unpopular. Sadly many Americans don't understand why their vote matters re: the SCOTUS. Cons have managed to convince voters via their coordinated efforts to present conservatives as upholding "American Values". Nothing could be further from the truth.

If we go after the SCOTUS with the objective of educating, we can undermine Trumpism without attacking the Felon personally. And maybe we can begin the steep climb back to TRUTH, JUSTICE, and the American Way.

I was raised on Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

If "we" ever get back there, it may not be in my lifetime. But if I can make it happen for my nephews, nieces, and their offspring....

They willingly walked through the door. Trump voters are ALL Christofascists, racist, or racist enablers. Stop thinking they didn't know what they were doing! They had four years of experience with him, an insurrection, multiple criminal indictments, 34 felony convictions, multiple sexual assault adjudications...

They liked what they saw and wanted more. The price of eggs was just an excuse.

THIS is the country we are!

Going back to 2000 my mother voted for Bush because of the SCOTUS. Then again all the social issues like gay marriage hoodwinked voters into voting "conservative/American values".

They can be turned towards helping themselves, rather than voting for fear of the boogeyman du jour.
