There’s
no real debate about it, I can say, without hesitation or
reservation, election day 2020 will be without question the most
significant, meaningful and impactful day in the history of this
empire since November 6, 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected. It
was an event which laid the road to multiple states leaving the
Union, forming the Confederate States of America and sending this
divided nation into four years of bloody, bloody internal conflict.
The
outcome of the Presidential election, regardless of who’s the
victor, has the ability to alter the course of what has been touted
as the most advanced form of civilization ever known to humankind -
either Joe Biden wins, and is able to “hang on” to his
seat of power and maintain this flawed, conflicted attempt at
“Representative Democracy,” or the United States is going
to regress into Donald Trump’s personal thiefdom, a fascist
plutocracy headed up by a racist, sexist and extremely elitist-minded
hustler.
So
very, very much is, as they say “on the line” in this
pending change of power.
King
Trump has all but guaranteed he will not
go
quietly into the good night. He will not concede defeat and has laid
the groundwork for the idea that he cannot lose, can only be cheated
and screwed out of what is legitimately his throne. People like the
notable Bill Maher, our era’s Mark Twain, Documentary producer
Michael Moore and little ol’ me - we’ve been pointing out
this harsh reality for almost 4 years, and most have poo-pooed our
warnings, all while our well-warranted concern of a self-anointed
King is coming-to-life before our very weary eyes.
If
Trump refuses to accept the people’s verdict, I can guarantee
we’re going to have more you
know what
on our hands than just a little bit. The Oath
Keepers,
The
Proud Boys,
infiltrated law enforcement agencies and well organized “Militias”
are on official presidential “stand-by” orders at this
very moment.
All
we can do at this point to possibly avoid this catastrophe is to
turn-out to vote in unprecedented numbers. Black men under 100 years
old must step-up and show-up, stop being the weak-leak within Black
America. If we don’t defeat this last stand for “minority
rule,” Black America will find itself being dragged, kickin’
n’ screamin’ back, back, back into a 21st century of some
form of a neo-apartheid “separate and unequal” era. That
seems obvious and undeniable. There is a stated objective and goal
for Trump’s movement - to take back America and make it 1953
again.”
As
folks have been saying: vote like your health, well being and life in
general, is at stake, and that of those you love and hold near n’
dear is at stake, because it all is on the razor’s edge.
Power
to the people ...we’re going to need it.
