Hello Kansas, Hello Fascism, and Good-Bye First Amendment
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
From January 21, 2017, until today, I have witnessed at
least one incident each day when a right-wing politician displays his or her
preference for the end of democracy in America, and the institution of a
fascist regime, with Trump as their Fuhrer.
The latest happened last week when a split decision by the
Kansas Supreme Court declared that the state’s Constitution does not guarantee
the right to vote.
[Justice Melissa Taylor Standridge called the decision
troubling, with far-reaching implications, and that the ruling “defies history,
law, and logic and is just plain wrong.”]
[“For over 60 years, this interpretation of section 2 has
been our precedent,” she wrote. “Without even a hint that it’s doing so, the
majority overturns this precedent today.”]
FROM THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND TO THE FIRST TERM LOCAL
POLITICIAN, THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER ATTACK
The right-wing is loyal to Donald Trump. It rejects the
foundation for the existence if the United States, the Constitution. Donald
Trump’s own words reveal his intention to void the Constitution in its
entirety, with the exception of the Second Amendment. If elected, his first act
will be to end all free and fair elections and take a position as Fuhrer of the
Fascist States of America.
Over the last 43 years, those who are Republicans in name
only today, have been attacking the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
They seek to not only repeal the voting rights of everyone who is not pure
white, establish the radical Evangelical branch of Christianity as our country’s
only true religion, prevent peaceful protests, but also eliminate nearly every
individual right and freedom previously guaranteed by the Law of the Land.
The passage of the Patriotic Act. By doing so, privacy is
limited, illegal search and seizure became standard operating procedure for law
enforcement. Government agencies are literally spying on private citizens every
day in the workplace and in the privacy of their own homes.
Equal protection under the law no longer exists. The very
existence of lobbies and a broken judicial system, which favors the rich and
powerful, validates my claims.
By their actions, the Supreme Court proves that it has been
corrupted forever. It removed every woman’s right to make decisions about her
own physical and mental health. In another decision, it removed section three
of the 14th Amendment preventing anyone who assists or engages in an
attempt to overthrow our nation from running for public office.
NO ONE WHO LOVES AMERICA CAN EXIST IN A RED STATE
Right-wing extremists in every red state are passing laws
intended to punish women and doctors if an abortion is performed. They are suppressing
the voting rights of the less advantaged and minorities. Members of the LGBTQ
community are experiencing an increase in hate crimes.
After Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, began a practice which
virtually bans thousands of books with even the slightest reference to slavery,
homosexuality, or a hint about the reality of white privilege, other governors
of red states followed his lead. Soon to come is a reconstruction of American
history which will favor the views of the American Fascist Party of 2017.
Never before in the history of the world has an election
been more important than November 5, 2024. It will decide if America is to
continue, or if it will become extinct.
"...democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes,
exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not
commit suicide." - John Adams: our nation’s second President
