What Readers are Saying about Windswept

If you vote for Trump and his MAGA GOP members you may indirectly start World War III.

If Trump and his MAGA  GOP take control of our Congress, they will cut off support for Ukraine. They already cut support on the advice of Trump when the Congress was ready to approve the spending bill with support for Ukraine.

What will happen next?

1. Without Ukraine support, Putin will overrun the country
2. Putin has talked about invading Poland next.
3. If he does NATO and the US will join forces to defend Poland and that may be the start of  World War III.

YOUR VOTE COUNTS

More than ever now that our Democracy is under threat by the GOP.

“The Republican party is quickly becoming a party of anarchy and lawlessness,”

said Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “This is supposed to be the party of conservative principles, of tradition, of respect for customs and rules that make society governable.

“The idea that the law does not apply to Republicans is something that has now become part of the mainstream of the Republican party. We see it in terms of the approach to elections. We see it in terms of the treatment of immigrants. Some of the actions with regard to abortion may approach that level. The Republican party appears to consider the law and the constitution to be optional and to have lost legitimacy.”

If you vote Republican  you are supporting:

• • Voter suppression

    – 19 GOP red states have pending laws suppressing voter’s ability to vote. Historically, dictators and Fascists have suppressed votes to stay in power.

  • White Supremacy/Racism

    – The GOP has come out in support of QAnon, The Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys

  • Infrastructure Failures

    – You may lose a loved one, a relative or a friend in a train crash, a bridge collapse or a plane crash as Republicans strip funds from President Biden’s infrastructure bill.

  • Abolishment of Women’s Rights

    – The Texas abortion ban if left to stand will be passed in several other GOP states. Idaho will pass an anti-abortion law based on the Texas law. 16 states have “trigger” abortion ban laws.

  • Federal Minimum wage

    – will never go up leaving 18 states still paying $7.25 an hour.

  • Conservatism

    – the last thing America needs are conservative leaders, especially some Republicans who want to keep America from progressing. The last thing America needs is backward-thinking leaders in the 21st Century.

  • The Party of Opportunists

    – Republicans have turned to cheating to stay in power or to get back into power…and nothing is getting done by them for the American people.

  • The Party of Authoritarianism

    The enforcement or advocacy of strict  obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.

    • Are you a traitor to Democracy, the Constitution, the American people,

      and everything America stands for: Truth, Justice and Liberty for all? Look what is happening in Ukraine.

    • Don’t be – Vote Blue in 2024.
