The American Experiment is Not Going Well (Part 2)
No survey to back this up, just a general sense of foreboding.
John Eastman, a member of TFG’s (The Former Guy) legal team wrote a memo on how to overturn the election and install TFG, subverting democracy. The biggest political event in the history of the U.S. since its formation. The abandonment of democracy.
What did the Fourth Estate do? Wall to wall coverage? Constant analysis of what went wrong and how to prevent it happening again? Calls for legal action against TFG and his team of miscreants? Do we see word clouds with “Coup” in huge letters (remember those NYT word clouds with Hilary’s “email” LOL)?
Nothing
Not a single broadcast network mentioned it. The press is as an entity is silent. Just like there were no consequences for the Brooks Brothers Riot, there seem to be no consequences for instigating a coup that came within a hairs width of ending democracy in the U.S.
Meanwhile the GOP driven by a crazed base and bought into the “big lie” is passing all sorts of laws to make it harder for those they don’t want voting to exercise that right. Gerrymandering is happening now that the census result are out. The supreme court depsite their protestations that they are not a bunch of partisan hacks, are exaclty that.
If TFG gets back in, or someone just as bad as him (looking at you DeSantis) then democracy will be over.
