I really hoped it could be prevented, as it was in France, so I couldn’t bring myself to read this article yesterday Many people apparently couldn’t vote: students, disabled and/or old people. Others just didn’t bother. The defenestration of Draghi was metaphorical, but the window was Russian.

Educating a population

Greetings Jim:

2022 Republican Senate nominee from Georgia Herschel Walker is a dumb man with CTE who is being abused by his white supremacist conservative handlers. Yes, I said it. The surprise of this car crash of a campaign is that enough voters will gladly vote for Walker because he has an R next to his political affiliation. This is dangerously stupid and foolhardy. And it just proves that what is needed is equity and tangibles in civil and human rights issues; not merely calls for equality. Put it this way: would you willingly vote for policies that are contrary to the needs of yourself? I sure as cuss would not. We do however see this play out worldwide. A far-right movement props up someone who is not a white male old conservative with fundamentalist Catholic/Christian beliefs to add a bit of spice and diversity to a series of ideals which do not fit the population nor the world. As I am typing this, much of the newer Republican candidates for offices in the Senate, Governorships, and attorney general races are of this newer batch. These also include at least 2 Republican Senate nominees who are younger than me and are new fascists. Just moments ago, a far-right political party in Italy deriving from the Benito Mussolini era has now inexplicably won a plurality of seats in the Italian parliament. So, the first female Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, is anti-woman. The newest Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss, is a conservative who seems out of her element. The entire Tory party is out of their element.

We are this close to November 8, a date that might mean something in the realm of American elections if we had mandatory voting and a reduction of the age limit to voting from birth. In an ominous sign, many of these same conservatives are already claiming vote fraud and a willingness to not accept the election results. We in the Democratic Party need to do the same. Yet in the past year, only Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) was willing to go the distance and only accept election results if he won. Barring that, we will need to implement a newer formula of world governance. I have no desire to see a dumb man with CTE in the hallowed halls of the Senate, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is dumb enough for two people. Go after these miscreants and go on the offensive. It is much needed before we lose everything.

Best Wishes and Kindest Regards,

Robert Kelly

The Washington Post headline falls right in line with corporate media's relentless pushing of a female agenda in all aspects of society regardless of the quality of the person being discussed/promoted or their actual agenda. The result are the Giorgia Meonis', Lauren Boeberts' and Marjorie Taylor Greenes' dragging western society into a fascist hell hole. Women good - Men bad.
