We are in the middle of a pandemic that in my opinion we should have already defeated. As our knowledge of the virus grew so should have our actions to fight the virus and make us safe. Here lies the  problem. Many of our neighbor’s attitude has not changed since day one. Too many of our neighbors have fought tooth and nail to do anything that would enable anyone to fight this virus. Instead of all of us fighting together to defeat this virus many in our government has made it an issue that divides us even more. Now I will say that they are in the minority but it is a large and active minority that is very hard to ignore. This is the minority that wants all the voter suppression. Minority rule always leads to the discrimination of the majority.

There is a voting rights bill in the Senate right now that would help end voter suppression. It is facing fierce resistance from the Republicans that want minority rule. I live in Florida now but used to live in Wisconsin. Gerrymandering is so rampant in Wisconsin that it would be comical if wasn’t so destructive to the rights of the majority. The redrawing of districts lines so you can maintain power instead of maintaining power with your message is what I consider as corrupt. Gerrymandering feeds racism. Racism is what in my opinion is destroying America and racism is what is turning many Republicans away from our Constitution. One person, one vote does not mean the same as it did before when you have a political party that wants to make that one vote not count. We are slowly entering an American version of Apartheid, minority rule. Gerrymandering is something that I am sure our forefathers would not be in favor of. They would want us to draw the lines far and let the chips fall where they may.

One of the problems that the bill that is in the Senate would address is all the dark money that is being siphoned to our elected officials. Not only do we now have to worry about our elected officials but we also have to worry about who their handler is. As we get more and more into minority rule we have to worry about the even smaller minority of the people with money  that controls too many of our elected officials. All this money that is coming into our elections is not only coming from rich American billionaires, there is a lot of foreign money pouring into our election process. The Supreme Court no longer seems to be interested in the vote of the single American. It was their Citizens United ruling that opened the door to this and has led to the further corruption of our political system. People that do not believe in the one person, one vote concept should not be sitting on the Supreme Court. There should be no Conservative Judges and no Liberal Judges. There should be only judges that are willing to protect the people and the Constitution.  The Bill of Rights is rights of all of us not just the people with money that make or break a politician. We need to get rid of the King Makers so we no longer have people, like Trump, that want to be king.

Our standing in the world has been greatly diminished from all of this. The other nations see the discrimination and bigotry here and think of us as hypocrites. We complain about Islamic nations suppressing women when we do it here is America. Many in our government do not feel that women should be paid the same as a man. Many in our government do not believe that a woman should have a say over their bodies. Too many in our government think that it is just fine to sexually harass women. When they see our voter suppression they think that we are not any different from countries like South Africa. When given the chance the minority will try and suppress the majority. They will try and say that it is for our own good. They may say it is because the poor want to much free stuff like healthcare.  I been asking people for a while to Google the freest countries in the world, we are not in the top ten. Don’t take my word for it, look it up.

The real problem is that the King Makers no longer want to supply healthcare for its workers. The King Makers do not want to pay a fair wage. The King Makers only want to rule behind the scenes and reap the profits and the power. The King Makers do not care about our Earth or climate they only care about the bottom line on a balance sheet. We, the little guys have to pick up the pieces when they are done with their disposable kingdoms. In the end we will wind up paying the price for their wealth and power.
