It's All Saints Day and we’re at the final Friday before the election. I confess that my anxiety level has been at Defcon4 for about the past month. There seems to be nothing—no act of indecency, no whackadoodle promise, no vulgarity—that will sway the Kleptocrat’s followers from the descent into insanity, so now it’s up to the non-cultists to set this train onto the track of reasonable, democratic government instead of the express to fascist autocracy that he’s openly declared he’ll install.
We the people have to get this done, despite our opponents
firebombing ballot dropboxes, culling voter rolls days before the election (we’ll
remember this, SCOTUS, as we do all the other rulings), engaging in voter intimidation
at the polling places and refusing to let DOJ monitors observe the process. If
they’re that terrified now, we have to give them the biggest scare ever: a
landslide victory for Democrats all up and down the ballot.
They'll still scream RIGGED and try to steal it, but it'll be much harder for them to succeed.
So my earworm today is “People Have the Power”, by Patti Smith. Crank up the volume.
