This is meant to offer a quick checklist for those who want to end autocracy and recover democracy. I suggest the reader understand that autocracy is a synonym for fascism or the rule of the few over the many. Many thanks to the Meidas Touch Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9r9HYF) for the term Roevember reminding us that at this time, equality, especially abortion rights, is being limited.
Register to vote.
Get to know your Secretary of State. Are they ETHICAL and working to help you vote easily and efficiently?
Help others learn too.
Vote. What are your dates? When does early voting begin?
Be aware and prepared for disruption and possible challenges. Steve Bannon, an anarchist Plutarch, has long been training disruptors. There is ample news on this. (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/01/gop-contest-elections-tapes-00035758)
Recognize we now clearly have evidence that an ex-president is guilty of not only treason as he and MAGA GOP attacked our capital on January 6th, 2021, but there is also now clear evidence of his stealing national security documents, so he has probably committed espionage as national security documents were taken. Traditionally all a past president’s documents are handled by the National Archives. (https://www.archives.gov/about/laws/presidential-records.html)
Trump and GOP MAGAS are clearly developmentally disordered in my educated and experienced views. Sociopathy. Psychopathy and malignant narcissism. All lack empathy and spew hate. They intentionally disrupt and destroy. They think transactionally and are obsessed with their power, not the greater good and democracy.
Become a lifelong learner. Everything here is evidence-based. Authoritarians intend domination.
They are, at the core, racist white supremacists who do not embrace difference and diversity.
The lawless pervert and manipulate the law for their own power, not your well-being. A treasonous ex-president who now seems to have committed espionage packed our supreme court with authoritarian seditionists and threatened all forms of difference and equality.
I believe we are not actually a democracy as some philosophy teaches, we are always becoming, always in process. I suggest, like President Biden, we'd like to continue towards a better world for all. Democracy, though messy, seems to be the best option at this time. Democracy, in my view, is a living experience that requires civility and agreement: we call it the rule of law.
WE, THE PEOPLE, GET TO CHOOSE BY VOTING and staying aware of corruption. Again we are constantly learning and choosing.
I hope this has been helpful. Vote for democracy this November. Help end the threat of a monarchy which historically has caused great pain and suffering.
Again to a great degree, we get to decide what kind of world we have. Free will is real. Help save the Earth and all beings, as climate denial may be THE real big lie. Vote Blue in November. Stop authoritarianism, white supremacy, and misogyny.
We, the People, can do this.
