Terrific piece by Robert Meeropol. But the inevitable absolute failure of the Demicraps even to consider this obvious interpretation of the US Constitution--and the certainty of failure should some of them attempt to do so--should remind us that "our democracy" is an illusion that has never really existed and will never really exist.
I think the facade of democracy in the US may be destroyed for good during the lame-duck Biden presidency as the Republicans continue the Trump policy of sabotaging basic governance at every turn regardless of the consequences. This is not something coming from outside the system, IMO, but the dialectical result of contradictions within the system. Hold on to your hats. The coming mid-terms may be the last "free" election in US history. We are headed IMO straight for tinpot dictatorship, whether you want to call it fascist or acknowledge its authoritarian anarchist tendency, which has the potential IMO to be worse than actual fascism. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
