The Day Democracy Died

Repugnants knew they faced a demographic dilemma by mid-century. By 2150 white people will no longer be a majority of the US population. Apparently, without giving them to much credit, they had a plan--just like their corrupt, delusional leader. They have stacked the Supreme Court with conservatives since Ronald Reagan making inevitable that the federal election oversight provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1965 would be gutted.  Last night, they filibustered the voting rights legislation in the Senate with the connivance of two confirmed radicals,  the Copperhead tag team of Manchin and Sinema.  Their state legislators are now free of federal restraint to pass restrictive election rules that will increase their chances of winning federal elections against the will of the people. That. reprehensible bourbon, Mitch McConnell, (decendant of slave owners) called the voting rights bill defeat the most significant day in the history of the Senate. Indeed.

Unless Chuck Schumer or Joe Biden can calculate a way to modify the filibuster without the support of the two subversives in his own party, voting rights legislation is dead, just like the president's social agenda.  American democracy is dying, not from COVID-19 but from the filibuster, a relic of Jim Crow that Repugnants feel they need to win.   Protection from the non-Americans at the voting booth? You decide.
