I think there’s a freaking tank of comatose psychics in Russia a la “Minority Report.” They’re broadcasting thoughts to America’s weak-mind liberals and leftists: "Don’t vote for Harris. Israel bad. Harris bad. I am a good person. I won’t vote for Harris." Their sleepy-headed targets mumble this call-to-action in hypnagogic half-sleep. "I am a good person. I won't vote for Harris."
Why not?
Here’s the reason the psychics project …
"Trump and Harris are Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Equivalents. Two evil sides of the same evil coin."
And that’s bullshit.
The truth is …
If Trump wins, the Iron Heel will stomp us all in the face. He’ll pack the Supreme Court (and federal judiciary) beyond any hope of future balance. Democratic victory won’t matter anymore. Liberal/progressive political philosophy will be declared unconstitutional. The Supreme Court will probably roll back previous decisions affirming LGBTQ rights. After that ...
Trump will pay back the people, organizations, cities and states that didn’t kiss his ass. McCarthy-era show trials will be the height of fashion. Along with blacklists and deportations. He’ll turn the Justice Department into the President’s blindly loyal squad. He’ll gut or eliminate the FBI and CIA — or turn them into his personal Gestapo. He’ll fire non-political government employees who might say “no” and replace them with pre-selected blind loyalists. He’ll build that freaking wall at the Mexican border at a cost that could probably create a domed city on Mars. For a few dollars more, he’ll build concentration camps to house undocumented immigrants — in a brief unpleasant stay, before kicking them out. He’ll wipe out any shred of independence in the educational system, kill liberal arts programs, and reduce American universities to trade schools. He’ll kill the Education Department and gut or kill the EPA. He’ll institute libel, treason and sedition laws that’ll silence annoying critics in the no-longer free press. He’ll give John Galt-style supermen like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos the legal right to control, censor, own, and manipulate the flow of ideas. He’ll amp up extra-legal militias and death squads. He’ll legitimize the whack-job conspiracy theorists of Q-Anon. He’ll withdraw from NATO and other global alliances. He’ll stand by while Russia brutally absorbs Ukraine, and China does a fiery blitzkrieg on Taiwan. The Supreme Court will reverse its decisions on LGBTQ rights. No more gay marriages or trans people in bathrooms. They’ll revert to an absolutist state’s rights theory, including the elitist idea that state legislators and run elections (or select electors) any way they want. He’ll kill the independence of the Federal Reserve, cut all the taxes (for rich folks) he can, and kill all those pesky laws preventing America’s hard working entrepreneurs from working employees to death, selling deadly products, and pumping poisons in the air and water. The American economy will go down the toilet faster than you can say “Herbert Hoover.” He’ll attack the problem with the default authoritarian solution. We’ll go to war with somebody, probably Iran. Or maybe Samoa. Who the hell knows?
That’s the awful truth.
It’s a lie.
Otherwise known as bullshit.
