Welcome to Litsy!

While reading, I kept thinking, “A better example of this is actually…”, then, horrifically, realized this was published in 2018. Unfortunately, things have gotten worse, the strategy clearer, and our understanding of fascism is in real time. Ugh.

The electoral college has quite literally NEVER worked. This is a vitally important read. Every law maker should have to read this book, at every level of government. Every high school student should have to read this book. Every college student should have to read it again. The “American Experiment” failed when the first president was elected.

The “founding fathers” had two basic views of having a single person in the presidency. Which do you think has worked out to be the most accurate, 239 years later?

Continuing with the scariest reading I can possibly imagine at the moment.

All this time I thought conservatives genuinely believed they were the majority. Turns out they are fully aware they are the minority and just believe that the minority should not be at the whim of the desires, concerns, and needs of the majority. So much for democracy. This even debunks the grand myth that the American constitution is this great document of democracy.

This is what the Kock organisation has always said, but I think it‘s far more true for the majority of Americans. The fact the constitution is literally set up so that the least populace state is more representation and therefore power than the most populace state is proof that democrats need to stop playing it safe.

This is the conservative movement… and it literally would take a supermajority to defeat it. Democrats REALLY need to get their crap together on this!!!

This is why they are so excited to now have the highest court in the land!

I do talk about politics on my feed from time to time, however I don't often speak about how it impacts my job. That changed today when because of the government shutdown (& to be clear R's currently control the entire federal government); it was made clear that beginning 11-1 (SNAP AKA Food stamps for people w/ IDD ,in my field) end. We went from a yr ago when people complained about the price of eggs to *literally“ no longer being able (CONT);
