Well, well well America, at least the USA part, looks like we have finally learned how to act like a third world country. Our government has finally learned the art of how to hold an election, how to sway and steer a vote through establishing a fear factor, how to engage a news media in the art of propaganda with the support of some in the field of higher education. The stifling of Conservative speech on social media and in the universities has reached a level equal to that of the nations they aspire to emulate. Our 235 year history of being a democratic federalist republic is at the threshold of becoming, what we have fought against since WWI, a socialist (eventually communistic) politic governing the herd of humans with-in its borders. Some in our country have put the fear of a pandemic to use, as a means of control and persuasion, to modify the rules of our Presidential election. Using that fear factor to excuse the centuries old standards and time tables in favor of a system more easily manipulated. https://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/presidential-elections-1 It would help for us to read the history of presidential elections to give us the background of the evolution of the procedures involved. Like every other thing, since the beginning of time, the only constant is that everything is affected by change. A quote from the article shows that some factors return every so often, without awareness of history we fail to learn. “The 1828 election campaign was one of the dirtiest in America’s history. Both parties spread false and exaggerated rumors about the opposition. Jackson men charged that Adams obtained the presidency in 1824 through a “corrupt bargain” with Clay. And they painted the incumbent president as a decadent aristocrat who had procured prostitutes for the czar while serving as U.S. minister to Russia. and spent taxpayer money on “gambling” equipment for the White House (actually a chess set and a billiard table).”
Does that remind you of anything America?
I’m not going to write about the propaganda strewn about by a
failing news media used to disrupt the current administrations’ policies and legitimacy
this goes further than that.
We have watched and listened to the divisive speech and
actions of a politic more divided than any time in my lifetime, and that
includes some really rough stretches.
The year 2020 will be a giant black mark in our history. The “China Pandemic” shut our country down
during an election year, bringing an end to one of our country’s best and
strongest economic upturns since the birth of our nation. The pandemic opened the door to the spread of
fear and government control over our nation's businesses, our educational
system, our right to congregate as religions and other group functions, and
yes, as a means of further division.
This fear gave the local governing bodies and the federals the
opportunity to change and manipulate our country’s voting procedures, in such a
way, that would erode our faith and trust in the system. My guess at this time is that the loss of
faith and trust is justified. The
pandemic allowed for the mass mailings of ballots in some states and the false
narrative of those mass mailing being equal or the same as the absentee ballots
used for those out of area voters. It
allowed for the extension of time, in some jurisdictions for up to a week, for
a ballot to be received. It also
allowed, in some states and counties, to process ballots without any proof of
identity and without any Republican oversight of the process.
At this point in time… I FEEL DEPRIVED OF MY VOTE
PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY, OUR CHILDREN,
OUR PRESIDENT.
