As I did the research of 17 different states that in one way or another came up with the most restrictive v**er laws and as a safety valve these red states changed there laws when it comes to there e*****rs and who gets them regardless of how each of these states v**ed. I knew then that there is no way to save our democracy.
So two days ago I decided to take a 35 minute drive with my grandson to show him the graves of all these great men that sacrificed and in a lot of cases the ultimate sacrifice to maintain our democracy. I showed him two of my high school friends that lost there lives in Vietnam. And I I reflected on my military service I started to think about 233 years and all these wars to keep our democracy safe. But it only took 5 years and one big lie by one man to tear down 233 years of living in a democracy.
But we all have to understand that a man who inherited $487 million from his father and went bankrupt 7 times has 5 kids with three different marriages was able to convince this country that he was c***ted and had zero evidence of v***r f***d and 233 years of sacrifices by so many brave men.
I watched how Trump stood there and told this nation he was c***ted, I watched him stand at a podium in Helsinki and defy our 19 Intel agency and say he believed Putin did not interfere with our e******n, I watched him stand at a podium and tell this nation that Putin really knows how to fix his border problems and that he is a genius as he committed genocide in the Ukraine, I watched how Trump supporters became Putin supporters, I watched how our nations capital was attacked and listen to Trump say March to the capital and fight like hell, I listened to Trump say this v***s is no worse than the flu and when the warm weather comes it will be over, I watched how Trump tried to tear down NATO, and crucify our own CDC, EPA and then turned his anger into the WHO.
And now I have come to the realization that Trump has won. The republicans will get control of congress and if Trump lives long enough he will be the next president and our democracy and rule of law is gone. I am not so sure we will ever be able to get it back. But you can be assured Donald Trump will probably be not a billionaire but a trillionaire.
So I told my grandson you our now in a time and place where our democracy failed and he will probably have to grow up in a autocracy controlled by a dictator.
I would never believe until Trump how fragile our democracy was. I always thought the rule of law would stand up, I never thought a president could occupy the White House and just laugh at congress for doing there constitutional right of checks and balances over the executive branch. I never thought at the DOJ that the rule of law could be ignored.
Congratulations Trump supporters democracy loses autocracy wins.
