Fair Elections Fairness is not an absolute.. It's a perception and an acceptance.. Our country is based on the parameters that will encompass a perception of fairness and an acceptance of fairness. It's in the nature of democracy. Fairness in elections has Never existed in this country., but the perception and acceptance of fairness has... Until now... We once accepted fairness as we accepted out laws, our patriotism, our system, our justice, our Constitution and our democracy.. Fairness in those things, may not have been perfect but they were accepted.. We didn't think in terms of Fairness...We accepted that our neighbors. our elected officials, our laws, and our government..were by DESIGN meant to be FAIR. We expected those people and things to TRY and be fair, WE didn't think in other terms. I'm not talking politics..I'm talking people.. Trump has wiped out the parameters. He has taken away the parameter of our acceptance of fairness, and by design without acceptance there is CHAOS. But that didn't happen overnight.. Our democracy is flawed..when it comes to fairness. As much as our forefather tried to even it out..It takes integrity, compassion, understanding, respect, and TRUST.. To make Fairness work in a Democracy. Once that is lost , the Minority View doesn't stand a chance. The biggest lie of Trump supporters is their false belief they are the majority. The changing demographics, that at first, whittle down that belief, and second became the threat to a majority, by becoming the majority. Democracy can not work if trump supporters are in he minority.. they will be squashed.. Fairness to them is no longer an option, winning is.. But it takes two to tango.. and they are not alone. WE have become a country of diverse Minorities.. and fairness is an attribute none can now afford. This election.. may not be the Fairest ever of all our election..but what I believe is... it will be the LAST fair election this country has ever known. Fairness will never again be a perception or an acceptance. |

I know most Democrats can see.. what I am talking about in regard to Trump and Trumpism..How they are destroying our elections and perceptions of fairness. They are not a NEW thing.. they have existed beneath the surface.. cockroaches in the woodwork.. since the beginning.. Our country, our democracy, had no room for them.. Because in the nature of our Democracy.. They were never treated fairly.. they were dismissed, and thwarted at every turn. Until NOW.. Trump has been their cult leader, but more important their SAVIOR. To come out of the shadows.. to legitimize their ideas in a democracy that has only held them down.That have been shown and taught that American Democracy doesn't work for them.. They had no voice in it.. For them Nationalism..must encompass the destruction of an unfair American Democracy. That only through their battle can their idea of THEIR American Democracy work..they understand a few truths,, like Divide and conquer, the ends justify the means, and fairness is weakness. There is no goal for them politically.. the goal is winning. As Democrats tries to hold on and fight back.. they learn the lesson..That a cockroach ideology is wrong.. but in their truth, their method works. That fairness can longer works for them either.. Progressives..Don't think in terms of fairness anymore Black Live Matter.. social injustice.. and police reform.. no longer means fairness.It means retribution. The Electoral College..our voting laws..no longer mean fairness Institutional bias, and a promotion of SYSTEMATIC RACISM The Supreme Court.. The only true design of American Democracy, minority protection, Trust, integrity, checks and balances..defenders of the Constitution. The Oracles of Democracy...A reliance and trust.. that they have a better understanding than the majority. The Supreme Court. A bastion of fairness... no longer exists.. America no longer exists..It will be re-written.

I don't profess to know what going to happen.. How America will be re-written.. But we are married to America.. FOR BETTER or FOR WORSE... However.... I am certain of the harsh struggle.. not the results. But i do have faith in American democracy..The greater the struggle, the better the results..and we are in for one Hell of a ride. And in truth.. since it's inception...That is what American Democracy is all about. Not in living the "good life"..... but in overcoming the "bad' one. People don't realize it yet.. that covid19 is just a piece of "humble pie"

I too am certain of the harsh struggle. That, my friend, was a terrific way to put it.
