It appears the GOP have lost sight of this country as a democracy. Unless of
course they win elections. Then they are fine with it. Just like Trump, who likes the
constitution only when it suits his purpose. Lately the is claiming the social media
online is breaking free speech. Even though private enterprise isn't required to follow
that part of the constitution. Trump also complained when he found he couldn't sue
people or the news media for talking about him. Trump loves control and hates it
when he doesn't have it.
Across the nation GOP controlled states are passing laws that will make it more
difficult for blue collar workers and the disadvantaged to vote. Apparently with the
hope it will reduce voting by people of color. Several years ago the GOP passed laws
so people could vote by mail. This was intended to increase voting by republicans.
which it did. But when large numbers of people of color decided to vote by mail,
Mostly Democrats, the GOP lost their advantage. When Trump found out he told the GOP they should limit voting by mail in hope it would return the GOP's
advantage. Trouble is, this could backfire by reducing the number of republican votes by those accustomed to voting by mail.
The supporters of old man Trump may think he will protect their rights and keep the
government from telling them what they must do. Well I have news for them, because
as soon as Trump gains autocratic power he will forget about those who supported
him. They should pay attention to how he is treating the GOP. He is treating them like
a bunch of puppets on a string. He will do the same to his supporters once he gains
the power he wants. Trump plans to do the same thing Putin of Russia did to his
country. He will put his cronies in positions of power, so he can do anything he
wants, and those who try to oppose him will disappear or end up in prison.
People of color and the LGBTQ could end up in forced labor camps. I am sure it
wouldn't be hard to convince a Trump controlled congress to support most anything
he would want, with the claim it's good for the country.
Likely with orders from Trump the GOP is pushing to teach school kids a false history
about the treatment of black people since the civil war. Likely with the hope to turn
more people against African Americans in the future. I am sure they are seen as
a threat to Trump's plans, after all it was people of color who cost Trump the
presidency. With another 4 years Trump with the help of the GOP could have gained a
third term in office, and possibly more under an autocracy.
I understand the GOP hopes to retake the house in 2022, then bring an impeachment
against president Biden, and try to use this to replace him with Trump, using the claim he was the true winner of the 2020 election. Now this may not work, but even if
the GOP were to take the house, president Biden could do little of anything the GOP
under Trump's control didn't want.
Control of this country could end up in the evil hands of Trump and the GOP if they
win in 2022. This includes state elections as Trump seems to control the GOP across
the nation. If they win more power in 2022, they could with control of the supreme
court, make it all but impossible to vote them out in 2024. I think we can be
sure the GOP will use the claim of fraud as Trump did for any close election they may
lose in the future. Just as they do in any autocracy.
