After Trump Loses
What happens after Trump loses the 2020 election? America will still have almost three months of Trump rule. Trump may be indifferent to America, but he’ll be in a complete panic about himself. We need to plan for that time, too.
Predictions About Trump: Cheating the Election
Dealing with Trump is depressing, but some predictions about Trump are possible. He’s looking at an election he’ll lose. Here are a few of my predictions about the ways he might cheat.
Dealing With Trump: Attacking the Election
Dealing with Trump is hard. When he’s caught lying, he doubles down. And now Trump and the Republicans are attacking the 2020 election they know they’ll lose. If we don’t anticipate what they’ll do, we’ll react too slowly to matter.
Dealing With Trump: Before the Election
We need to deal with Trump between now and the 2020 Presidential election. In 2016, we gave terrible powers to a madman with no boundaries and disdain for the rule of law. Now that he’s losing badly, he’ll do everything possible to stop, corrupt, or suppress the election. We can’t just react; we need to think ahead to beat them.
Let Everyone Vote
It’s a core American ideal that every American should vote. The founders felt that each of us voting in our personal interests creates a democracy in everyone’s interests. Under Jim Crow, we jailed black people and stripped their voting rights. Why keep enforcing racist nonsense? Let everyone vote.
Are Republicans Evil?
Each time Republicans refuse to limit suffering, pain, or despair, we pretend they are acting honorably, and we just disagree. Sure, the GOP regularly disdained mercy, but we still tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. It seemed polite. But what if that’s not true? Are Republicans evil?
This is Art
We’re reposting the FindAClearTruth video about Trump’s speech in Tulsa. It’s long, rambling, petty, disjointed, and ultimately hilarious. I hate the term at the end, but I was laughing out loud anyway. I think this is art.
The Institutional Roots of Racism
Forget about police violence for a second. When we depend on fines & penalties to pay the bills, the institutional roots of racism are baked into the Justice system. We are directly responsible, but we can fix it, too.
