Trump tweeted on 7/30: “With Universal Mail-in Voting (not absentee voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the election until people can properly, securely and safely vote ???” What the Heck?! Former Republican, Steve Schmidt’s Twitter response in 6 parts: “Fascism. Authoritarianism. The question has always been, could it happen here? It is happening here. It is happening right now. Trump crossed the rubicon this morning. For the first time in American History a president of the U.S. has talked about stopping a Presidential election. He is probing and testing the reaction to see what he can get away with. We have voted in this country for 244 uninterrupted years, through World Wars, Depression, Civil War, Assassinations & civil unrest. In America, we vote. Voting is a sacred inheritance. It has been secured with the blood of American patriots from the killing fields of Lexington, Yorktown, Gettysburg & Normandy. It has been expanded with the sacrifice of men like John Lewis, the courage of Rosa Parks, and the martyrdom of Dr. King. Stopping an election ends the American experiment. Trump is losing and he knows it. He is grasping for power like any dime-store Mussolini would. The thing is, this is America, not Trumpistan. We will vote. This morning we received the worst economic news in American History. US GDP collapsed by 33%. The first wave of evictions & foreclosures will come this fall. It will dwarf the catastrophe of the Great Recession. Trump has wrecked this country and it will take many years to recover from his lethal stupidity & incompetence. He must not be allowed to wreck American liberty and kill American Democracy. We are the oldest Constitutional Republic in the world. We will vote. We are Americans!”
John Lewis’ inspiring last words, his marching orders & benediction was printed by NYT 7/30: “Together, you can redeem the soul of our nation, by building union, voting & participating in the democratic process. When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, Let them say it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate, and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression & war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers & sisters, and Let the spirit of peace & the power of everlasting love be your guide.”
