Here is what you get if you vote for Republicans in 2022
Republicans for years have wanted to cut taxes and shrink the government. The Republicans want small government. Interesting that we have a large republic-large in population and large in area, so even with a post office, government offices, we have a need for large government to match our needs and population. The founders never said large, but limited government. Republicans in their efforts to lower taxes have increased our debt and deficit. They have made it impossible to enforce laws, regulations or inspect mines, oil rigs or bridges and roads. It is hard to know in this current Republican Party what do they want, so you have to listen to Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Mitch McConnell and other leaders to give you an idea, what they want:
1) Abortion outlawed in the country-not just up to the States but a total ban if possilbe.
2) Birth control, Griswold v CT overturned and up to the States to limit birth control
3) Take away marriage equality-gays and lesbians and trans will have no rights-no marriage, no employment or rental rights for any LBGTQ persons
4) Interracial marriage - Loving v VA is wrongly decided and up to the States-
5) No right to privacy in any mattters-no rights besides those in 1787-white men with property-those are original rights
6) Education to be privatized-more school vouchers and choice, more restrictions on what is taught-no teaching on slavery or race inequalities-
7) Guns for everyone. Not sure if the NRA or Republicans want Blacks and Muslims to have AR-15 but constitutional carry in every state-you can take guns into bars, schools, everywhere. No limit or restriction to gun rights
8) Flat tax-everyone taxed the same percent-sounds great but the rich will have less in taxes taken out and the poor will be taked so much more-overall, it will increase debt and deficit but it sounds fair.
9) Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare ended-that is the end goal. If they do block grants, privitize, defund or take away subsidies, the goal is to reduce these benefits to Americans-that is a big agenda item.
10) Right to work laws nationwide-no unions, no striking, no workers rights, no employee rights. Go find another job is their motto.
11) No equal pay for equal work, discrimination against women-women should not be working but taking care of the family
12) Christianity rules-school prayer in classrooms and government-Christian values and Christian morality will run the local, state and national government.
13) No minimum wage at all-it will not be raised, and if allowed, removed
14) All issues up to the States-they would like a Confederation, not national government. They prefer the Articles of Confederation versus the Constitution. Every rule, law is up to the States-there is no national rule governing or mandating the States. States can nullify the Federal govenment.
15) Elections are fair if Republicans win, Democrats cannot win. This is stated and implied by Stop the Steal and current events.
16) News is fake if it is does not agree with conservatives or Republicans. Republicans have thier own reality and news and facts. Facts do not matter. Party over country.
17) Minorities, young and Democrats are restricted in voting. Must wait in lines, remove polling places, stations to make it harder for minorities to vote-minorities should not vote. Some Republican representatives have said women should not vote.
18) Democrats are the Devil-pedofiles, groomers, worse than Putin. Republicans have made Democrats against the country, against US, against Children-sex trafficers, and worse. All untrue, but that is their belief."Putin is better than Hillary", "Hillary had sex ring in Pizza place" but teachers are "groomers" and worse. Republicans believe this-Demcorats are ungodly, hate them and hate America. All untrue but a belief and they will act on it.
19) Republicans have voted against Voting Rights, against Anti-gouging laws, discrimination laws and anything to help people. Republicans since 1960's have not voted to help people in any way. (Ok lower taxes but helps rich more than them) They vote against helping Ukraine, NATO, lowering cost of college, lowering prescription drug costs, against healthcare laws, against sensible gun laws-against anything the people want.
20) Hate groups will be permitted and encouraged-Proud Boys, Militia Groups allowed to run wild and be vigilantes. Hate will be normalized and allowed. Hate will be encouraged.
21) President Biden will be impeached-not for crimes but policy issues. President Trump, Clinton, Johnson, Nixon were impeached for crimes and laws broken. Biden will not have broken any law, but he will be impeached due to any issue at the border. Not a crime.
22) Corporations and business will be given more power, more authority to pollute, to have no regulations, to do whatever they want, at whatever cost. Corporations will help run state laws, national laws as they have done under ALEC. Corporations are people so they can deny healthcare to employees, rights to employees and buy elections.
23) The Supreme Court will continue to rule without resitriction taking away rights of people-women, LGBTQ, workers, inmates, arrested, protestors, school children, everyday people.
24) The Consitutition while revered, it should not be followed-States should nullify federal laws, President can change election laws, President is more important than the people-See Trump. Religion is the most important right over speech, assembly. We have a national religion. The Supreme Court ignores Constitituion today, Republicans ignore Constitution today as they work on Big Lie, Deep State, make up new rules-originalism, Corporations are people, money is speech, privacy is not a right, elastic clause does not matter.
I think I can go one with more. But realize if Republicans win in 2022, people will lose rights. The country will be more divided, more filled with hate. Repubicans will feel emboldened with a mandate-we voted for them, so they can do what they want. Remember they will win with 30-40% of the vote. This will be terrible. The media will say it is a mandate, Republcans can do what they want.
Do not let this happen. Vote. Talk to others. Vote, get people to polls. Republicans do not stand for you or the majority of the public. They stand for "Christians", billionaires, and their own Trump Party. This is scary. The more I hear today about the Republicans, the more scared I am. Please vote. Please talk to others. I do not care you think Biden is Old. Biden is too liberal. The Fascists are ready to take over. Be scared of the Authoritarian, Fascists not make believe socialists.
Please.
Vote.
Please watch and learn.
Please VOTE 2022.

Judicial Restraint and Originalism
I do not think any conservative judge believes in judicial restraint or originalism. Too many judges are political and use their opinions over the law and constitution. I hear about precendent, stare decisis, but it does not exist. All judges are activist but it depends on their point of view!!
1) Founders did not believe in standing army-the second amendment was about militia and Brutus from Brutus 1 was worried about Congress destroying and getting rid of state militias-militias to put down slave rebellions!!
2) Founders believed in freedom of speech-was speech symbolic? That was created by conservatives? Did founders believe money was speech? That was created by conservatives.
3) Founders did not believe in poltical parties-founders thought Congress would protect its territory and powers but now it is not done. Party is more important than country. Madison was correct about the dangers of factions. The Supreme Court allows the dangers of factions continue-partisan gerrymandering, partisan rules.
4)Justice Alito believes in originalism?! Based on originialism-no womens rights, no African american rights, no LGBTQ rights, no privacy rights-what is the 9th amendment to ALito? What is included but not stated?
5) Justices make decisions and state that this does not affect other decisions-that is not true. Judges read and politicans read. Politicans now want to state: interractial marriage in Loving v VA was wrong, Griswold v CT was wrong. While Alito says, this Dobbs is only about Abortion, his allies are looking at all the issues.
6) The Founders had the chance to make right to own gun an individual right-it failed. If it was individual right it would be included in first amendment. They were logical. PS Madison had religious exemption for right to own gun-is that militia or individual-hmmm
7) Gun nuts state people have right to overthrow government-see Article 3-Treason-did the court see this?
Voter Turnout is Key and Important. Dems to Vote
While I understand years of mid-terms where President loses terribly. The most famous shellacking was in 2010, Obama getting destroyed. In that election only 41% of the voters voted. Most Republicans, older, white, males vote in all elections. This 41% was seen as a wave, but remember it was only 41%. If Democrats vote, they win. See 1998, 2006, 2018. In these mid terms, Demcorats voted and won. In Presidential elections, Democrats win if they vote. This is not undocumented voting, but registered Democrats voting. While, it seems negative now, remember if Democrats vote, they win. Vote, vote and vote. Do you want Fascism? Do you want Social Security and Medicare defunded, changed? Do you want more gun access and less mental health? Do you want more guns? Do you want less public education, less welfare? Do you want minimum wage removed?Republicans vote against price controls for oil companies, pharmacies. Republicans are against Gay Marriage, LGBTQ rights, against interracial marriage, abortion, privacy rights, even contraception. Be wary. Vote for your rights. Vote and tell others to vote. Vote for diversity. Vote for being kind. Vote for women! Vote for immigrants!!

If you vote for Trump you are RACIST
Donald Trump is a racist. There is no doubt. From birtherism, to to undue everything Obama did. To the Central Park Five, to lawsuits on his rental properties, to his attacks on blacks and people of color. Racists know Trump is racist. Racists hear his words, his calls his talking points. Donald Trump is a racist. There is no doubt. The African American community know he is racist. Latino's know he is racist. The only people who are not sure are racist white americans. I hear many people from Manassas, on Facebook that are from the South-they are Trump supporters but not racist? Really? They support confederate monuments? Racist! They support the Civil War was fought over States Rights-racist!! Support Robert E Lee-racist. If you support Trump, you are a racist. His policies hurt people of color. His talk and his vocabulary are against people of color!! The Wall is racist. His tax cuts are racist and hurt people of color. Getting rid of Obamacare hurt people of color. Now his policies do hurt his own supporters and his policies hurt middle class they are race based. He hates blacks. He hates NBA, NFL and all people of color. His supporters might be ignorming his racist language that the ignoring is supporting his racism. If you ignore his language or if you ignore his tweets, you are supporting racist beliefs. You are supporing racism. You are a racist. I am sorry, if you support Trump today you are a racist. There is no separating his tweets, his talk his speech from your racism. You support his racism. You are a racist. Deal with it. Let's stop racism NOW. Whites need to wake up. Stop racism NOW. Stop Trummp NOW

Stop with the Democrats are too Far Left
The media is constantly promoting that the Progessive wing of Democrat Party is too far left. They keep saying too left and cannot connect with voters. Democrats will lose if they move to far left. This is just wrong. 1) First I don't hear the Republican party is too far right. They are extreme in fasism. They separate families, promote racist policies, take away health care, ban gay, lesbian rights and not a peep. Ronald Reagan would not be a Republican today and I hear nothing about how far right they have gone. The Republicans are fascist, giving all tax breaks and money to corporations, billionaires and hurt the middle class and nothing. 2) Democrats are doing things to help people. Help with college funding, student loans and aid, helping with health care and doctors, helping with income, helping with wages, helping with equality. Why is this too far left? $15 minimum wage is very popular, infrastructure spending is very popular, pre-existing condition rules, expanding health care is very popular. Free community college has been started in Republican Tennessee. I keep hearing this country is center right-false, Liberal policies are very popular and have support. 3) Bernie, Elizabeth are not as liberal as Eisenhower or Roosevelt. They do not believe in Roosevelts Economic Bill or Rights or public ownership of industry. Break up banks not own the banks. Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to millions of undocumented immigrants. Reagan gave speeches for 50% tax on wealthy and the wealthy paying their fair share. Immigrants important to this country. We are not too far left and most left policies are supported by the people. Democrats needs to voice their support and challenge the Right and Media with false ideas. Healthcare over a wall. Infrastructure over deporting or separating families. Help with college over private prisons. $15 minimum wage over tax cuts for millionaires. Climate change or Green New Deal over Defense spending or ICE money. Tax cuts do not spur the economy. Deregulation is a farce and hurts the environment, hurts people, hurts workers. Stop the lies and the conservative talking points. The Debt/deficit is not an issue-do not let Conservatives give a $1.5 Trillion tax cut and then worry about deficits. They spend money and expect Democrats to pay for bills or pay for spending. Fight for our values. Call out the hypocrisy. Call out the racism, fascism. Help the Middle class, help the workers, help the people.

Hypocricy is abundant and so wrong
I am so tired on people only siding with their team. If a Democrat does this it is ok, if a Republican does it, it is fine. No, What is right is right. If you believe the national debt is a problem, that goes for Donald Trump and not just a Democratic president. If a supreme court nominee is not allowed a vote during an election year by Republicans, they must do the same when Donald Trump has a nominee in year 4. IF it is a crime for Hillary to delete emails (it was found not a crime for what she did), then it is a crime for Jared, Ivanka or whoever. Debt or deficit? It used to be important for Republicans, now they ignore Trumps tax cut and its effects. We must keep the truth to both sides. If it is bad for one side, it is bad for the other side. We must be consistent. We are all Americans. I might disagree with you but I need to keep everything consistent. Consistent in laws, consistent in rules, consistent in politics and media. Wrong is wrong no matter my team or side. Right is right, no matter my team or my side. Right now, Republicans are losing this issue. It is one reason I left the Republican Party. They care about Party over Country. It is all team based. Hypocricy knows no bounds. We need to judge all sides by same rules-it is call Constitution. It is called rule of law.

Why would you ever vote REPUBLICAN?
Why would any voter that is not the 1% vote republican? If you are lower income, lower middle or middle class the Republican party of tax cuts do not help you. The reason the Trump voter
was angry was that Republican policies do not help them. Tax cuts do not spur growth or jobs or income. The Trump tax cut did not increase income or jobs for people-it was used for stock
buy backs, investor gains. Trade while excellent for prices, ships jobs out of America. Workers have lost jobs, wealth and purchasing power. Healthcare? Republicans want to take it away.
Better roads, bridges, mass transportation? Republican leaders say no. Expanding social security, disability, equal pay, increased minimum wage? Republican leaders say no and lets reduce.
Welfare, food stamps, entitlement programs are cut and hurt. Education is cut. Private prisons, private schools help the wealthy but not the students. Republicans vote against improving and
funding education, increased grants, the student debt issue. Every issue that can help people that need the help, Republican leaders say no. Why would Republican voters be angry at leadership?
Democrats are not the enemy. Democrats do not want to take away your religion. Democrats will not take your guns. They will not take away your freedoms. You can go to church and believe.
All people need to be served. Treat people with respect. Democrats are not the devil and the policies help every middle and lower income person.
Currently Republican leaders do not care about the debt. They are shameless. What values? Do they support the constitution? Republican leaders do not care of you or your health or well being.
Do not be scared. Do not be fooled. If you vote Republican it is against your best interests.
