For 90 years the radical far right has waged war on 20th-21st century American mainstream life. It is time to let them go, give them their own country – and, most importantly, let normal Americans live in peace, free from the constant hectoring from reactionaries on how to live your life.
For 90 years, the top 1% has plotted against “government of the people, by the people, FOR the people.” In 1934, they plotted a coup [Google General Smedley D. Butler, double Medal of Honor winner]. The idea was Butler would lead “the boots on the ground” in the coup. Instead, Butler turned them in. Congress investigated and issued a February, 1935 report. And, of course, all the top 1% and corporations involved denied everything.
From the early 1970’s forward they’ve bribed Congress [ campaign contributions in action!!!] to re-write tax laws [ cutting top marginal and corporate rates – resulting in U.S. national debt ballooning toward over $30 trillion from the less than $1 trillion before Republican tax cuts], removing banking restrictions [resulting in 1980’2 S & L bailouts and 2008- crash], not enforcing restrictive competition laws [ resulting in mergers & acquisitions mania, monopolies, massive “rent seeking,’ general consumer-worker-taxpayer abuse]. The result is 1980-2020 America, in which the incomes of average people have slipped by at least $10,000 per year [see IRS-CBO-GAO unspun stats]. We have gridlock because the top 1% paid for it. They have what they want; they don’t want you to change it!!!
Then there are the religious fundamentalists who scream about their “religious liberties” being violated and taken away. Their definition means their belief they have a “moral” right to tell all Americans how to run their lives – according to the rules of the religious far right [who, by their definition have “earned” the right to tell us sinners that we’re wrong and immoral].Te religious radical far right has been plotting to set up a theocracy [ we have the specific quotes!!!] The first step is electing Republicans. Step two is putting reactionary judges/Justices on the bench. Step three is for Republicans to pass reactionary laws. Step four is for reactionary far right legal organizations to bring “test cases” up the judicial pipeline to the Supreme Court. Results: “Citizens United,” “Shelby County.” The latest overturns two centuries of American “separation of church and state” precedent [and the express wishes/planning of the Founding Fathers [ we have the correct quotes!!!]. Now, you can be forced to pay your tax dollars to a church you don’t attend and may very well oppose because it, in fact, violates your religious beliefs.
In 1980, pre-Reagan tax cuts, the U.S. national debt was less than $1 trillion. The immoral reverse Robin Hood Republican tax cuts blew that up. Combined with the approximate $3 trillion for Bush II’s immoral Iraq war, the Wall Street-engineered 2008 Crash [campaign contributions in action!], and now the necessary Covid-19 relief, U.S. debt approaches $30 trillion. It could have been $0 in early 2006 if Bush II had followed Clinton’s plan [see January, 2001 GAO-CBO forecast]. He didn’t – so we don’t have the luxury of some $15-20 trillion to aid Americans in the Covid-19 crisis [itself grossly mismanaged by the nitwit, anti-science Trump regime].
The top 1% wants you to believe we have a Social Security-Medicare “crisis.” We do because they refuse to pay their fair share of taxes. It has been known for decades that if the preposterous “cap” on the Social Security tax was eliminated, this top 1% manufactured “crisis” would end. The excuse is that the top 1% “doesn’t benefit” from living in America if they had to pay their fair share. This could easily be done by an act of Congress tomorrow [ but won’t – campaign contributions in action!!!].
In their twisted version, the American political-economic-religious-social reactionary far Right has perverted America in virtually every way they can. We have laws based on fundamentalist religious dogma [ unConstitutional], and they want more. In order to justify anti-abortion/contraception laws, they’ve twisted medical science and lied. They tell us gay people aren’t really human – something any mainstream biologist can tell you is ridiculous. They want you to pay for their schools and churches [ even more than now, and, of course, they’ll be free to discriminate, and teach/preach “alternate facts”].
“Conservatives” [cover for reactionary!] said the American Bar Association was “too liberal” – so they set up their own legal network: the Federalist Society, now about 75,000 radical right strong. They are accompanied by far right legal organizations specializing in “religious liberty” [for the far right] cases. Backed by contributions from far right groups [see Jane Mayer’s “dark Money”]. The Federalist Society and other like-minded far right legal groups have infiltrated college law schools, conduct “training” sessions for judges, and run a conveyor belt of “test’ cases up to the Supreme Court [see Amanda Hollis-Brusky’s “Ideas With Consequences” for specific case-by-case diagrams showing how in landmark cases the Federalist Society created the cases, then ran them up to the Supreme Court filled with its members as clerks and Justices {Heller, McDonald, Citizens United, FEC v Wisconsin Right to Life}. Republican administrations are full of them.
A major part of all this is the radical reactionary far right’s propaganda network. Headed by the only major TV network established as a propaganda mouthpiece: billing itself as “Fox News:” far right talk radio, and far right internet trolls/sites [ these days who is Russian and who is “American”?}One of the major tragedies of 2020 America is that so many good Americans believe the daily poison being pumped into their brains by this propaganda network – some instigators making $30 million a year to deceive people – and it works. How else can it be that Americans who don’t listen to the “Fox News” echo chamber have an entirely different [and usually correct] views of “the facts???” Why did the medical necessity of wearing masks in a pandemic become politicized? Has it been politicized elsewhere?
So we have millions of good, ordinary Americans who are scared, many living paycheck-to-paycheck, many in poverty. Republican demagogues have created fear in their minds, cleverly distracting them from the real villains [the top 1% and corporations] in order to blame a series of scapegoats – “the other” – ethnic, religious, racial minorities. The real people who shipped jobs to the non-union South, Mexico, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, China, etc. were, or course, the top 1% and corporations. In more brilliant right wing strategy, using the Covid-19 crisis, ordinary people have been organized by various right wing agents to protest against any government action trying to solve the Covid-19 virus transmission – getting them to saying “their rights have been taken.”
The solution for all this is – Trumpiana. A new country created out of parts of the old “Confederacy” back in that area. There all these dissatisfied people who can’t stand the real America can live in peace [ and so can we!!!] in their country. It is time for them to depart.
Trumpiana
It is now sadly obvious Abraham Lincoln was wrong. The present United States is NOT. The last 40 years’ events have proven millions of Americans on the political-economic-religious-social far right are immensely unhappy in 20th-21st century America. It is time to let them go – to their own country – Trumpiana.
After we elect a sane, honest, competent, caring, intelligent president in November, 2020, we should immediately begin the healing process for America.
After the 2020 elections, announcement of Trumpiana will be made. The next step will be to build a wall from the Atlantic Ocean through southern Virginia and Kentucky to within 10 miles of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; then a wall 10 miles east of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. These walls will be fortified, with military guards. Naval gunboats would protect Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico end points.
Citizenship in Trumpiana would be determined by the following criteria, which would all be illegal and unconstitutional in the real U.S.A.:
-people wishing to live under a theocracy of fundamentalist churches
-people wishing to have totally uncontrolled ownership of any guns
-people hating gov”t, especially those creating “militias
-people believing the Fox echo chamber [ tv, radio, internet] tell the truth
-people who don’t believe peer reviewed science
-people wishing to retain Donald J. Trump, to be known as Donald I, as their
dictator, to be succeeded by his children
-members of reactionary legal and business groups seeking to subvert law
Citizenship in Trumpiana would be entirely voluntary. People wishing to escape from Trumpiana would have one year to finalize exits.
All people remaining in the United States of America would agree to the following modifications of government and civil liberties:
1} Separation of church and state the Founders Intended will be absolute. People can talk about religious beliefs, but all agitation and political efforts to enact laws on such would be illegal. Controversial beliefs such as the entire “pro-life” agenda are unconstitutional for laws and government actions.
2] Ownership of guns will be as the Founders intended, as militia members {National Guard}. Normal hunting {single shot weapons} acceptable, military weapons illegal. Armed “militias” strictly illegal.
3} The “Fox News” echo chamber is prohibited to “insure domestic tranquility.” A healed America cannot allow divisive, false broadcasts designed to promote hatred, racism, and general mistrust.
4}Peer-reviewed science will be taught and emphasized in public schools. Public policy will be made on sound scientific basis.
5] American citizens will not engage in divisive and destructive behaviors of the current political-economic-religious-social right. To heal America, it must be freed from the poison that has been injected into our society by the collective “right” these last 40 years. Violation means expulsion.
6] The Electoral College will be declared unconstitutional and ended.
7] New elections will be held for state legislatures and Congress.
8] The destructive and erroneous Supreme Court decisions of “Citizens United” and “Shelby County” will be nullified. Expanded voting periods will be created; free election TV time provided; political “campaign contributions” will be eliminated; the government-corporations “revolving door” ended; no legislators or Congress members or their staff members ever allowed to “lobby”/influence legislation in any manner.
9] The purpose of the economy will be to allow all citizens to enjoy “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,” NOT to allow a few to become obscenely wealthy. Therefore, all tax laws will be null and void – replaced by equitable progressive tax rates. World War II top marginal tax rates will be established until the national debt is down to $0.
10] The destructive “drug war” is ended. Laws and treatment will be on a medical basis.
11] The people’s health is a “national security” issue . Health care for all is a constitutional right. American health laws and system will be changed to reflect the best of other national plans. Profits of “health care” providers and products will be strictly regulated. The purpose of national health insurance will be to provide care, not profits.
12] America stands for inclusion, not exclusion; “all men are created equal.”
