Let The Landslide Begin!!

I VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN!!
Avalanche = Landslide + 1
I hope President Trump FULLY recovers.  I don’t want to see the end of Donald Trump (per se).  I want to see the end of “Trumpism”, and all it’s greed, racism, sexism and anti-Democracy authoritarianism.  Please, my fellow Americans – return us to a nation of laws and remove this offense from “The People’s House“.

1. You’re not JUST voting for President
2. You’re voting for Democracy and you’re voting against allowing the USA to become yet another authoritarian regime.
3. You’re voting for Federal leadership to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. You’re voting for who replaces Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.
5. You’re voting for the appointment of a qualified Secretary of Education and getting rid of the unqualified Betsy Devos.
6. You’re voting for federal judges.
7. You’re voting for the rule of law.
8. You’re voting for saving national parks.
9. You’re voting for letting kids out of cages and reunited with their families.
10. You’re voting for clean air, clean water and more sustainable energy resources.
11. You’re voting for scientists to be allowed to speak about climate change and for rebuilding the CDC.
12. You’re voting for what a President says and does on Twitter.
13. You’re voting for housing rights.
14. You’re voting for minorities to be treated with dignity by those who are supposed to protect and serve all people under the Constitution of the United States.
15. You’re voting for non-Christians to be able to adopt and to feel like full citizens.

19. You’re voting for rural hospitals.
20. You’re voting so that everyone can have health insurance without regard to employment status or income.
21. You’re voting for the preservation of PBS.
22. You’re voting to have a President who doesn’t embarrass this country every time she or he attends an international meeting.

Defining Trumpism In Today’s Republican Party

Political extremism involves two prime ingredients:  an excessively simple diagnosis of the world’s ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all.

[And let’s not forget that ONLY one man (#IncompetentDonald) can solve all of Washington’s and the nation’s problems…   Almost three years in office, how’s he doing so far?    —    KMAB]
