The next No Kings protest is coming up fast. This one is going to center on the upcoming election. I know people might get sick of hearing this, but this next election may be the most important election in our nation’s history.
What do rising gas prices, rising grocery prices, the growing homeless population, the defunding of your healthcare, the illegal and immoral wars started by our government, the losing of all of our allies while we cozy up to dictatorships, the assault on our Constitution, the attacks on the free press, the misuse of our military, the attack on immigrants, the attack on people of color, the attack on LGBTQ people, the rewriting of history, the destruction of institutions, the destruction of research and science, the increasing wildfires, the exploding nation deficit, the selling of your future and your children’s future to benefit the Epstein class, the astronomical graft that President Trump has taken (to the tune of billions) all at a cost to you… What do all of these thing have in common? All of these spring from illegal, fascist moves by Trump and his cult, aided and abetted by dishonorable and immoral Republican jurists, senators and representatives, including our own Michael Baumgartner.
Whether we rescue our nation (and your future) is up to you and your vote. Republican cult members know that if they lose control, justice is coming - for all of them. They will do anything and everything to make sure that it is extremely hard for people to vote, and to make sure people’s votes are not counted. When we win, they will do everything in their power to stop Democrats from occupying the office they have legally won. Think January 6 on steroids.
These Republican politicians are crooked and have no honor. They will fight tooth and nail to keep justice from occurring. Whatever happens, this election will be one for the history books. And when your grandkids ask what you did, how you voted this November, you will either be proud to tell them what you did to save our nation or you will be ashamed to say you did nothing. Unless, you are a MAGA person. Because, in order to feel shame, you must embrace some sort of morality. If you have any morality, you would have removed yourself from this cult years ago.
Today, on Out and About, I will be talking with Sami Perry from Spokane Indivisible about the next No Kings Rally and why voting is crucial this election.
