Is America Broken Forever Because of Donald Trump?

So, we’ve gotten to this point. Donald Trump, States with elected Republican Attorneys Generals, 18 of the 25 States that Donald Trump won are suing 4 of the 25 States that Joe Biden won (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin & Georgia) to overthrow the vote of the residents of these states because a majority of voters in each state voted for Joe Biden for President. Are we a union of 50 States where voters can choose any political candidate for election or are we an Authoritarian Monarchist State where 18 States with Republican elected officials rule over the other 32 States and install Presidents of their choosing only.

Let’s be real, NO election fraud took place, in this election, the 2016 election, 2012 election, 2008 election, etc., etc.. The only actual concerted election fraud issue that took place was by Republican Congressional Candidate Mark Harris, who was found to have conducted illegal vote tampering activities. Democratic, Republican and 3rd party leaning districts and precincts all administer elections in an open honest and accessible manner. The constant attack from Donald Trump Senator Ted Cruz Kevin McCarthy Senate Republicans House Republicans​ Senator Marco Rubio Leader McConnell​ & Republicans on the exercise of voting and administration of voting in non-Republican leaning areas is beyond disrespectful and un-American, it must be challenged as a violation of the constitutional rights of voters in Democratic & 3rd party leaning precincts, districts, cities and States. The current lawsuit, by States where we have family and friends residing in has passed the Rubicon. First, It’s not as if Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have never voted for Democrats for Statewide office before (see below). Each has elected Governors, Secretaries of State and Attorneys Generals in 2018. Second, Georgia has changed a lot since 1992, when President Clinton won the state. It’s become more diverse and the diversity has both increased the eligible voter universe and the likely universe of Democratic voters. This is not an unexpected outcome, this is what happens when you have a good person running against Trump. It still could have went the other way, but it didn’t. None of the claims made in this lawsuit or related amicus briefs met the standards of evidence, provided any methodology to support their “statistical claims” and were hearsay opinions, thoughts, conspiracy theories that consider all votes casts in Democratic areas as illegal or lack of understanding regarding election rules in each State

Michigan — 2,804,040 residents casts votes for Biden (50.62%) vs 2,649,852 residents cast votes for Trump (47.84%) margin of 154,188 (Margin was 10,704 for Trump in 2016, 449,313 for Obama in 2012 and 823,940 for Obama in 2008)

Georgia — 2,473,633 residents casts votes for Biden (49.51%) vs 2,461,854 residents cast votes for Trump (49.25%) margin of 11,779 (Margin was 211,141 for Trump in 2016, 304,861 for Romney in 2012 and 204,636 for McCain in 2008)

Wisconsin — 1,630,866 residents casts votes for Biden (49.45%) vs 1,610,184 residents cast votes for Trump (48.82%) margin of 20,682 (Margin was 22,748 for Trump in 2016, 213,019 for Obama in 2012 and 414,818 for Obama in 2008)

Pennsylvania — 3,459,923 residents casts votes for Biden (50.02%) vs 3,378,263 residents cast votes for Trump (48.84%) margin of 81,660 (Margin was 44,292 for Trump in 2016, 309,840 for Obama in 2012 and 620,478 for Obama in 2008)

Now every State sets up it’s own rules for governing elections, as provided for under the 10th Amendment. This attack on Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania is a violation of the equal protections clause and due process clause of the Constitution, the 1st, 10th, 14th, 15th, 19th and 26th amendments of the Constitution and the basic premise of America, where you have the right to vote as you chose and have your vote count. The disrespect of 18 States believing that they should have the right to violate the rights of citizens of 4 States because we don’t like or trust your voting choice, violates the rights of the voters in the other 21 States and District of Columbia who voted for Joe Biden. The comfort with having Trump supporters threaten Democratic & Republican elected officials who won’t support this coup is beyond disqualifying in the efforts to be bi-partisan. The only “bi-partisanship” that Trump & his willing supporters allow is 100% fealty & support of his whims. If Texas, Missouri, Florida & 15 other States can dictate the voting outcomes for citizens in other States, then Michigan, New York New York State Attorney General, Illinois, California and the 21 other States & District of Columbia who voted for Joe Biden should have legal standing to dictate the voting outcomes of the 25 Trump States. The fact that 18 States, at least 30 Congressional Republicans, the current resident of the White House, the US Senators in Georgia, State legislators in Pennsylvania and other states feel that this is an appropriate course of action if you don’t get your way makes you wonder if those States and officials still want a United States of America. How do you trust the motives, actions and deeds of State Governments and elected officials who believe that the best outcome for America is to impose their will upon the other 32 States, DC and Terrorities and demand to have the voting rights of fellow Americans in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia. Why should citizens in Michigan, Illinois, Colorado, etc. trust that Florida or Texas didn’t do something illegal in the administration of their voting process? Why should the basic bargain of trust that we put into each other to keep our country together since 1776, with all of its flaws, hold when Utah, Iowa, Mississippi, Texas and Alabama believe that they should have dominion over Michigan, Rhode Island, Oregon and other States. How long should Democratic elected officials continue to say that Republicans are afraid of Donald Trump and accept that they are willing partners in this coup attempt. When will President Elect Joe Biden Kamala Harris The Democrats House Democrats Senate Democrats stop hoping for bi-partisanship and demand that the Republicans accept our citizenship, voting freedom and right to disagree publicly and excommunicate this violent cult of Trump from their ranks.

My Grandmothers both raised me to believe that you have to identify a problem before you can solve it. Today’s amicus brief filings by 17 States, joining Texas, 30 Congressional Republican Congressmen & Senators and Donald Trump’s effort to overthrown the votes of 81,280,798 Americans who voted for President Joe Biden, the 2,898,959 Americans who voted for 3rd party candidates for President and the 1,182,890 Americans who voted down ballot and skipped the Presidential part of their ballot (159,584,249 voters cast ballots in 2020 General election) to make the 74,221,601 Americans who voted for Trump overlords over the rest of us, with their votes having a higher class of value and weight on National policy/leadership than the rest of us (includes the 54,859,963 Americans who are registered to vote and didn’t vote in the 2020 General election). This is the proverbial fork in the road moment for our country. It’s only two paths in front of us and the Democratic Party​ Joe Biden​ and the Republican Party​ have to take this serious. The actions of the Republican party have taken us to a place where either we’re a country ruled by 25 States and their installed monarch and Americans in the other 25 States & District of Columbia will be subjects with restricted levels of rights and freedoms or we will be the United States, with an acceptance of each State and voters ability to vote as they chose and not have it demonized, attacked and discarded. I believe the choice should be simple, but a growing portion of the Republican voting base and elected base want to do away with voting choice and install themselves as the permanent ruling class. We need to answer this now because we can’t continue in this divided, hostile manner.
