Understanding this election, the religious right, to the tune of 81% of them voted for Small Hand Donald. In doing so, they gave up any moral authority as they sanctioned a rapist, “Grab’em by the pussy,” they sanctioned a traitor, selling out to Russian money laundering for his wealth. And they sanctioned a moral degenerate who has not even read the Bible. All for their hatred of Hilary Clinton? Might be more than just her name, but her sex as well. The so called “Bible Belt” is in an ongoing war against reproductive rights such as family planning and abortion. Thankfully, this is part of a dying generation, with the younger people being more open to other people from other cultures, religions and policies. As well, the browning of America, as minorities will overtake the white population by 2040, which if they have not been gerrymandered into tight enclaves, should swing the government to progressive policies. As well, at the same time, at least two more cases are heading to the Supreme Court where hopefully one of them will be accepted and become a law under which civil liberties can challenge the racist partitions that allowed the Republicans to win 40% of the vote in Wisconsin but 60% of the seats. And as an added bonus, as the viewing audience of Fox New is on average 78 years old and is only getting older as the years pass by, Fox will be seeing themselves aged out of business by their own catering to “old white guy” politics. It is no longer the era of the TV show “Mad Men” where the notion of “Civil Elegance” coined by Studs Terkel. Where minorities knew their “place” and allowed the “natural” order of things to exist, in the Fox News world order that allowed white men to sexually harass any female they saw because it was their “natural, God given” right to do so? Times they are a changing. And about time too. The next twenty years are going to be all about who will control the next thousand years of American history. And who will adapt and who will be run off the road. Simply put, the era of yesteryear, where White Males were the end all, be all of everything, has come and is now well on its way to being gone. The hold of the religious right to its members is slipping with each generation. The political ideology of selfishness and shameless behaviour without consequences is over. This lesson needs to be learned not only by the Republicans but by the Democrats as well. They cannot keep the same line up of corporatist, right wing fools and hold on to the vote. Progressive candidates are going to run primary challenges and will unseat them. The anger in the field is keeping Republicans from any sort of meetings with their voters. Imagine what it will be like next year when the whole house is up for grabs. A clean slate of people running for office with progressive legislative goals will overwhelm the Republican house and perhaps carry over and take the Senate. Leaving Small Hand Donald and his neo Nazi buddies not only in the fringe but actively being sought by police for high crimes and misadventures as seen in their behavior in Charlottesville among other places. As they well should be. A better tomorrow, here we come… I hope they don’t screw it up…
