The coalition of Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, forty years of Red State gerrymandering and\u00a0 voter suppression, and strategic doses of election fraud assured Republican control of Congress in the 2024 election. Together with a years-in-the-making Supreme Court of far-right Catholic judges, those Congressional majorities have enabled wanton violation of our Constitution in every sphere of government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth, fiction, and AI have all merged into a constant gale of lies, coverups, brutality, cruelty, and deliberate destruction of American democracy. This has been first year of Heritage Foundation’s detailed plan to turn our country into a White Christian police state somewhere between Nazi Germany and George Orwell’s 1984.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Against these powerful forces, a broad resistance has been evolving across the nation including many lower court decisions, local and state government lawsuits, and mass demonstrations of increasing numbers of citizens across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

While for sure it’s been a heartbreaking year, every day bringing more sadistic cruelty, lies, incompetence, and dishonor, the reality of gross negligence and incompetence is creating increasing realization among voters of every stripe including large numbers of independents.<\/span><\/p>\n

See you next year!<\/em><\/p>\n
