1/ In John Milton's "Paradise Lost," Satan declared:
"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."

2/ nationalism is dominated by this ethos. Ironic, considering their sole purpose for living is to secure a place in heaven. Securing a heavenly after life evidently requires these Christian nationalists to make life miserable for as many "non believers" on Earth as (Cont)

3/ possible.

This makes for a perfect marriage with evil fascist narcissists such as Donald Trump. Sun Tzu put it best about leaders such as Putin, Trump, Stalin etc:

"An evil enemy, will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes."

America's center of (Cont)

4/ political gravity at present is defined by this darkness.

Vengeful narcissistic sadism fills the hearts of those who prefer to dominate a dystopian depravity over the collaboration and rational consensus required in a democratic republic.

Persuading and recruiting (Cont)

5/ foot soldiers to impose such a dystopian order requires fear, intimidation, false martyrs, scapegoats to justify their rule as well as distract from what's actual events and a titular leader or symbol to unify and focus their rabid subservience. It's an old story. We've (Cont)

6/ seen it before. It's always happening somewhere. And we're living it here with the metastasizing fascist movement in what used to be the party of Lincoln and those who claim moral superiority.

Naturally, we decent pro-democracy folks do our best to sound the alarm (Cont)

7/ because this pursuit of hell on Earth to seize power and impose their will also has defined our own center of political gravity.

What gets lost in all this noise is the aspirational. Hope for something better than either vengeance or a status quo that at best leaves us (Cont)

8/ unfulfilled.

Linchpin for aspiration starts with freedom. It's why Franklin Roosevelt explained in his State of the Union address to congress on 1/6/41, that the struggle against Hitler's fascism was to secure Four Freedoms as illustrated in the meme below (Cont):

9/

➡️Freedom of Speech
➡️Freedom of Worship
➡️Freedom from Want
➡️Freedom from Fear

Eighty years to the day on 1/6/41, a racist misogynistic mob that prefers to dominate hell on Earth actually defecated in our capitol and violently attempted to take those freedoms away. (Cont)

10/ I'd pity them if they weren't so homicidal.

We must aspire to better. A society based upon freedom for all and responsibility from all is truly possible. The journey to become a more perfect union is achievable. Economic and social justice are not utopian. Indeed, (Cont)

11/ they're actually pragmatic pursuits for our country and humanity.

That's what our current president is striving for and making real progress in achieving despite a bloodthirsty political opposition whose objective is to foment chaos and preside over the ashes as (Cont)

12/ elites horde the wealth.

I'm not going to bore you with a dry recitation of statistics. Two great resources on X for data are @ActionDemocrat and @trudygonzales. I suggest you follow them for all kinds of information.

Suffice to say is that what Democrats under Joe (Cont)

13/ Biden's leadership offer is not false promise of heaven on Earth or revenge against folks in Red America. Rather what Democrats are trying to do is restore hope and aspiration for ALL Americans.

Hope that one can earn a living, save for retirement and still have (Cont)

14/ enough disposable income and time to enjoy life with family and friends.

Hope that life is more than blood, soil and toil.

Hope that our planet will be able to support human life for generations ahead.

Hope that one can love whom they choose without being (Cont)

15/ terrorized over it.

Hope that one can go about their daily life without fear of being shot.

Hope that one need not fear white supremacist cops, criminals or a Kyle Rittenhouse wannabe with a gun.

Hope that our elderly parents can live in dignity without they or (Cont)

16/ their adult children being ripped off.

Hope that our kids regardless of their background can learn not only a trade but how to be well rounded citizens.

Hope that music, art, literature are not only the province of the well to but everyone.

Hope that discovery, (Cont)

17/ knowledge and achievement still matter.

Hope that a freedom for all responsibility from all culture means a sense of community to help thy neighbor rather than merely serving a personality cult.

Hope that people are more than just names on a spreadsheet to be (Cont)

18/ categorized as assets or liabilities.

Hope that dignity truly is universal and not measured by the size of one's wallet, race, religion, creed, orientation or pronouns.

If it's more important for you to win the upper hand in a world of destruction and ashes than we (Cont)

19/ can't help you.

If you truly want something more than blood, soil, toil and retribution than we need your help. And we need it now,

Election 2024 is less than a year away.
