Where is Our
Collective Progressive Voice in This Fascist Darkness?
Collective Progressive Voice in This Fascist Darkness?

“A great
democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a
democracy.”
― Theodore Roosevelt, New Nationalism Speech

We have only two political parties
in our democratic republic, and only one of them stands for something and
consistently supports its platform, and the other has spread itself so thin to
be inclusive that it has locked out its most important base. One party brings
every weapon at its disposal for the political fight ahead, and the other
proverbially, only brings a knife to the gunfight. The result is that the party
that consistently stands for something, holds most of the power now, and if we
did not have a separation of power, that party who now holds most of the power,
would have already overthrown our government and made it their own. I am
writing about our present two-party system of course, and neither Republican or
Democrat have always been innocent. Believe it or not, it was the GOP that
supported the abolition of slavery and the Democrats did not! It is funny how
both parties have switched and the GOP in our era stands for an entire
bucketful of deplorable ideology including religious extremism, misogyny,
homophobia, and racism. And when you think that the other party, the Democrats,
would be the absolute opposite, think again. Only a minority of our present
Democratic party supports true progressive ideals. And it is only that progressive
minority that has the guts to stand up and say it like it is to the now fascist
GOP. Sadly, the majority of the Democratic Party has been asleep while the GOP
has been busy advancing its horrific agenda. Where is our progressive
collective voice in all this fascist darkness?

Certainly, it has been absent while
the GOP was busy with the nefarious Koch brothers and supporting Citizens
United which allowed the Count Dracula of right wing business interests into
our sacred house of democratic values. Big money should never be allowed to buy
candidates as well as our elections, but this is precisely what Citizens United
did. So now that big money can determine the outcome of our elections, the GOP,
the party of action, was busy at work in their quest to continue eroding our
democratic republic through using gerrymandering and voter suppression. It is
at this point that even if we get rid of tax evading/ birther Don TrumPutin, we
still have a long line up of GOP right wing turds ready to replace him, some of
whom are even more dangerous than he is, if you can believe that. And this GOP
depends on the stupidity of the average voter to keep them in the driver’s seat
on our way to totalitarian nightmare.

We have no progressive voice to
counter the Orwellian propaganda of the GOP because the progressive voice of
the Democratic party is stifled by its traitorous corporatists. In the
meantime, the GOP has many bamboozled, and is once again attempting to destroy
the Affordable Care Act in the most cowardly way that they can. If the
Democrats had any power at all, they could stop this, but in the end, it is up
to us to once again get into the faces of these fascist traitors who not only
have the heartless nerve to want to throw millions off… their health care, but
also have the gall to still call their bill “health care”.

Our nation is attempting to evolve
into a pure democracy but will fail if we don’t root out the totalitarian
poison eating us at our core! We must continue active protest in the absence of
a progressive voice in Washington. We must confront every GOP traitor and
enabler of the tax evader Trump agenda. We must block every part of their
vicious agenda against us. We must demand health care for all. We must demand
the impeachment of the racist fiend Trump. We must demand an end to Citizens
United, gerrymandering, and voter suppression. We must give rise to that
progressive voice, the voice of reason, harmony, and humanity or else see our
end.
