[sept. 21 – 27, 2020]
In the wake of RBGs death, the 2020 election has never appeared more dire. The war against democracy endures many waves, but this one has left us naked, defenseless and w/o armor. Just as the final battle– i MEAN, eLECTION– peaks over the horizon, cult45 rushes-in. Desecrating RBG’s dying wish, as they haste to fill her seat. Not only dismantling RBG’s legacy, but they’re also securing a false victory in November. You see, cult45 has been hard at work the past couple months sowing fear and discord in the fidelity of the US election. Once poll numbers started showing Biden/Kamala in the lead, the GOP began preaching, the only way we lose, is if the election is rigged. They’d have us believe that mail-in ballots aren’t safe– planting a seed of doubt as an attempt to prolong the election. And if they manage to do that, well, the election will go into Overtime, and then the Supreme Court will have to decide– you see where I’m going with this? Justice Barrett on the Supreme Court is no bueno. Mind you, I’m doing my best to not dramatize the situation. So, let’s just put all the facts out on the table, shall we?– I’ll let you feel however you want about this (as long as you aren’t delusional).
Here are the facts.
Full name: Amy Vivian Coney Barrett. Born: January 28th, 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana. She’s the eldest of seven. Five sisters, one brother. She graduated from Notre Dame Law with a full-tuition scholarship. Summa cum laude, of course. Devoutly catholic. Married, with seven children of her own. Two of which, were adopted from Haiti (one of whom she adopted after the 2010 earthquake). Also, her youngest son has down syndrome. Hmm.. you know, on paper, she doesn’t sound so bad. Kinda kickass, actually. Let’s check her record to see if it holds true.

Says here, she’s a favorite amongst religious conservatives. Who’da thought. Her name was on the short list for scalia’s supreme court seat back in 2017. She lost that to brett kavanaugh. Reportedly, cult45 has been saving Barrett specifically to replace RBG. A special sort of fuck-you to women and feminine rights, if you ask me. 45 must be savoring in the irony of all this. And upon further inspection, Barrett’s record appears just as you might have thought. She’s against Roe v. Wade, anti-immigration, wants less gun reform. against gay marriage, and– Oh, she doesn’t believe in climate change. She’sa peach. An ideal pick for Trumps America that’ll last us a generation. For better or worse, we’re stuck with her.
So what are we gonna do? We’re gonna vote like our lives depend on it. Because guess what— they do. And as long as the votes for Biden/Kamala are overwhelming, the GOP can’t contest it in court. But if they do, well– then we’ll have to reform our strategy. But for now, voting’s all we got. I know it’s sorta crazy how much this one election can change the course of the planet. But stopping now isn’t an option. We’re 36 days before the last battle and yes, the skies are grey– but we cannot lose faith. You hear me? We must rally our final reserves and stand at the ready with our vote. Again, this isn’t a dystopian novel. This is America 2020. And honestly, I thought we’d all be talking about flying cars by now, but instead we’re fighting for our planets survival. Wish I could sugarcoat it for you folks but the stakes are too staked. It’s win, or die. And, that’s death by blazing inferno.
