Every year for the past thirty years I have heard Americans talking about need to "fight for Freedom and Democracy", much as Martin Luther King Jr indicated and practiced fighting vigorusly and relentlessly alongside hundreds of thousands of down trodden blacks and other disenfranchised Americans for their right to Vote and for acceptance as true equals in this society.
What Happened?
Hope is an aspiration that has no current lifespan or currency in this country of hate and violence for past 200 plus years. That observation maybe one reason that almost every person with whom I am acquainted and/or related from several other western developed nation are almost unanimous in thinking that Democrats will succumb to the onslaught of Donald Trump's MAGA disruptors this November, with only hope in their minds.
I hope all these folks and with whom I agree to a large extent are totally wrong, but the acquiescence to defeat and subjugation of a new dictator type authoritarian existence of America is logically much stronger.
Every one of my family and friends (with significant exception of my own husband) and neighbors is aware of the dreadful position the country is in. But they all have hope that you are wrong. Here in Wisconsin we have been under minority rule since the ugly endless term of Scott Walker, yet we still managed to elect a liberal state Supreme Court justice in a landslide. Women and young people turned out in droves and bitch slapped a smug Republican leadership. My continued hope is with women and young people in November. Especially with that hate monger Vance on the ticket with Trump. If the backlash against greed, hate, misogyny and toxic testosterone levels gains strength, the Republic will be safe. I see cracks in the patriarchy.
