Hello Georgia (or people within driving distance):

Do you want to fight back against Republicans' concerted efforts to suppress the vote in 2020?

Sign-ups are open to join the DPG's team of poll watchers for the June 9 primaries. Click here: secure.ngpvan.com/gkN6m9DV5EC5K8…

If you're driving distance to Georgia and you want to help, here's a link for out-of-state folks.

Georgia is in play. Georgia could turn blue. Just think of that.
I'm doing two things:

🔹Dances to goddess of Voter Turnout
🔹Volunteer legal work for the Georgia Voter Protection Committee

It goes against their ideology, which says government that helps people is "socialist."

They think government is to maintain the hierarchy and protect people from "enemies."

Thus a government order that saves lives is tyranny, but tax breaks for the rich is good government.
So they set up a false dilemma: Either people go back to work and risk illness, or they stay home and die because the economy collapses.

They don't see the third option, because it requires government working on behalf of the people.

Exactly⤵️

It's hierarchical thinking: The strong will survive. The weak will not. The far right wing despises people they see as "weak."

First the message was: The people dying are on their last legs anyway (Bill O'Reilly said that) . . .

(Thread) How Fairness Wins

This question⤵️ was in response to my thread on hierarchy and fairness.

How do Democrats overcome the GOP’s baked-in advantages?

Spoiler: Democrats win by being the party of fairness.

It isn't easy, but Democrats have numbers on their side.
1/ A variation of the question👇


The GOP, by it’s very nature, has baked-in advantages.

That’s why a small group on the right wing fringes (who have been called right-wing-authoritarians or RWAs) have always exerted power beyond their numbers in the US.
2/ RWAs were the driving force behind slavery and Jim Crow. They killed the ERA.

(They like hierarchical, patriarchal systems).

Even when only white men could vote, the pro-slavery folks often had trouble cobbling together a majority.

There was always vigorous opposition.

(Thread) A Firehose of Corruption

Spoiler: The Trump Administration and people with "political connections" wanted to profit from the pandemic by selling unproven and dangerous drugs.

Dr. Rick Bright was retaliated against for refusing to go along.

kmblegal.com/sites/default/…
1/ The complaint starts with Dr. Bright's credentials.

He opposed the broad use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as lacking scientific merit, even though the Administration promoted it as a panacea and demanded that New York and New Jersey be “flooded” with these drugs.
2/ Dr. Bright didn't like that lucrative awards went to companies with political connections to the administration.

He also documents that he and public health officials were fully aware of the threat of COVID-19 by early January 2020.
