Nothing but Pride and Applause for Mr. Baratunde Thurston and his eloquent message to all America. His monologue compels me to think of the peril America would be facing had Republicans and the President succeeded in suppressing the Black Vote.
What if Georgia's senate race runoff went to the two Republicans? Would the Republican controlled Senate become more vengeful and bipartisan? Would they feel emboldened enough to join the Capitol Insurrectionists and somehow return Trump to power?
We have seen so many unprecedented and questionable decisions and actions by Republicans these past four years that American citizens are numb and desensitized by it all. Seeing a United States President incite a confederate flag toting mob to Bumrush the U.S. Capitol, in an attempt to “take back America” and overturn his re-election loss, isn't all that surprising if you've been paying attention to Trump and his Republican sycophants.
Sy-co-phant: a servile self-serving flatterer
This most recent crime against our country and constitution is one comparable to a fictional Netflix series. But this ain’t no "House of Cards" or “Designated Survivor” episode folks, its a live broadcast of America Unwound: Pandemic Survival 2021.
Whatever tomorrow brings for America, just know that those U.S. citizens it has historically fought so hard to disenfranchise and suppress will be there to save it from itself again. "With malice toward none, with charity for all." Don't believe me, just ask Stacey Abrams:
Abrams lost the Georgia governor's race by 55,000 votes in an election marred by allegations of voter suppression. Instead of fading into the background, she climbed into the trenches. She formed an organization to register and empower voters, wrote a book about voter suppression and co-produced an Amazon Prime documentary, "All In: the Fight for Democracy."
