Plog 31
Fight, Fight, Fight
Hey fellow ploggers, what’s up? I hope you are feeling spicy and fabulous. I am doing great and enjoying this lovely summer. Happy Friday!!
This post is going to be a little rough because there is no time to gild the lily. Look at the picture of the lady above who looks like she has been beaten up. Make no mistake that things are ramping up in this battle. The battle is between Democracy and Fascism. That is the biggest battle I can think of right now. Other important battles include Women’s Reproductive health rights, LGBT rights, Voting rights, Educational and Historical Censorship and more. As I mentioned in a previous plog the Right is using youth training camps to further their agenda. Churches and other organizations also groom their parishioners. In many ways, we as Americans have it in our power to make a change. Whether you believe in voting or not, it is your right and at this point a duty.
I saw a clip on Facebook from the a political PAC. They showed an American flag and in bold type it said “Will you just vote for your party? Or will you think for yourself?” I think that party politics cause many people to vote against their own interest. I know people who vote a straight party line ticket. Others cross party lines depending on the issue. But we are fighting in a more specific battle these days. It is obvious which party is heading back to the past, where they had more power. They want to make America great again ,for themselves. If your parents, grandparents, family and friends have always exclusively voted for them, it will be hard to make a change and vote in a different way. But it will be even harder to be hoodwinked by your favorite party that has changed and aimed its figurative sites at your rights. Don’t support a party that doesn’t support your personal needs. Don’t buy into the con. As I see it, Republicans are different now than they used to be. Today, 2022 they seem to be openly Racists, Sexist, Anti-Semitic, corrupt, classist, desperate and way too judgey. They no longer try to hide these tendencies. They are letting you know that they support “white rights” and that anyone else is not welcome. They applaud anti-Semitism, Hitler and Putin. If you are not down with these monsters you don’t belong with them anymore. The game has changed. It would be like a slave voting for their owners to have more rights over them. If you feel that way, then I truly cannot help you.
I am not saying that the Democratic Party is perfect. I am just saying that the Republicans have been taken over by 45 and his ilk. They are organizing, growing, recruiting and trying to scare you into keeping them in power. They are scared to death to lose power. They are master manipulators and will tell you that white people are being replaced numerically by brown people coming over the border. Not true. They will also tell you that you are in danger of losing jobs, safe neighborhoods and your “rightful” place at the top because of black and brown people. Not true. They plant fear and animosity. They tell you that the only way you can be safe is to join ranks with them. Not true. Also don’t forget that every political race is important. In 2020 it was local elected officials who were called on to fake electoral vote tally’s. Local Judges and legislators are important too. They can make differences in crucial ways. If you are the person who just wants to belong in the same club, then you may buy their load of crap. But I know that you are smart and have been burned 🔥 and will not let it happen again. You will not hand the keys over to the jailor and you will vote your best interest now and forever. All over this country women are organizing.
Fight Fight Fight!
