When someone says “nice house, bet you got nice stuff in there.” Then later they say “I bet it would be easy to break into”, then later you see them staking out your house. Then they tell you they are going to break into your house.” Then they tell you how they will break into your house.” Then you come home and your house is broken into. Who is at fault?

When the President, says he wants 8 more years. When the President says repeatedly he wants 8 more years. When the president starts dismantling the locks to protect voting, by destroying the USPS. When the RNC, his best friend, starts legally trying to suppress the vote. When his old campaign is found to have suppressed black voting and the vote. ‘ When the Supreme Court is making a much larger number of emergency rulings in favor of Trump (they require no hearings and no written opinions). When his allies in the Senate will put in place a 6th conservative Supreme Court Justice prior to the election, so she can vote on his attempts to overturn the election. When he tells his brown shirts (the Proud Boys) to stand down and be ready. When he encourages illegal voting. When he tells his gun-wielding supporters to go into election sites to act as poll watchers, to suppress the vote and voting by BIPOC. When he finally claims he won, when he lost, and illegally claims a second term, and the Court supports him. Who is at fault?

We are – for not stopping this right now. We can shush this down. We can demand change. We can march on Washington. We can do sits ins and shut down the government. We can shut down the economy. We can stop a Supreme Court process until after the election. We can vote in overwhelming numbers for Democrats down the ballot. We can stop our house, our country from being plundered. We can give money to the people reporting the stories we need to read. We can fund the advocacy groups that do the work to keep democracy strong. #BidenHarris2020 #ProtectOurDemocracy #stopthesupremecourtnomination
