I watched a clip a few minutes ago of an interview between Kevin Roberts (apparently, the head of the Heritage Foundation – I’m not linking it because clicks and traffic) and some right wing “news” person, I did not catch that guy’s name, sorry.
This man states in clear terms WHY this is a serious and possibly democracy-altering situation in our country right now! Some of his words:
And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
“If the left allows it to be” – meaning what? If we allow you to take over and foundationally alter our democracy which has been in place for over 200 years??
Some more of his words:
If people in the audience are looking for something to read over Independence Day weekend, in addition to rereading the Declaration of Independence, read Hamilton’s No. 70 because there, along with some other essays, in some other essays, he talks about the importance of a vigorous executive.
So, I went and checked out Hamilton and his No 70 (VERY briefly, mind you), and here is what Wikipedia has to say about Hamilton:
Alexander Hamilton greatly admired the British monarchy, and sought to create a similarly strong unitary executive in the United States
Read that again… I’m telling you, someone, somewhere is polishing up that fucking crown.
Yeah that info should come from our news, the ones who ‘think’ they care about facts. If the party of dumpty says it, about anything, it should be fact checked word for word! Thanks for sharing that.
