The Supreme Court Just Reminded Us Elections Have Consequences (As If We Needed Reminding)
There must be something about the end of June that gets the right-wingers on the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) all cranked up.
Back when Donald Trump was running for president, his close adviser Steve Bannon pronounced his — and through him, Trump’s — agenda to “deconstruct the administrative state.”
Most people probably had no idea what he was talking about.
Those who get their “news” from right-wing hate media defended it regardless.
The billionaire-owned corporate media glossed over it because those benefiting from the deconstruction’s deregulation were perfectly fine with the resulting tax cuts.
We saw what happened.
For four years, Donald Trump sought to weaken NATO, undermine the United Nations, further massively cut taxes on the morbidly rich, eliminate environmental standards, and take a blowtorch to federal regulations intended to make us healthier, better educated, and safer.
The obsequious republican party waited 40 years for someone like Trump to come along so it could step out of the cloakroom into the daylight to destroy democracy right in front of us.
