Well, it's happened. We no longer have a SCOTUS. We have a Fascist Grand Council (hereafter the FGC) which still calls itself the SCOTUS, but is no longer. By their decision yesterday, they have shown their only interest in the Constitution is to make it solely an instrument for the rule of the rich white males! Their only interest in democracy is to drive a stake through its heart and bury it twelve feel under!
So, fellow citizens, if you wish to remain citizens and not decline into subjects, and abject subjects at that, now--right now--is the time to rise up and say 'NO!!' to what the FGC has handed--or, rather, thrown down in our general direction and in the autocratic style familiar in prerevolutionary Versailles and/or St. Petersburg!
I say that by such an action they have sawn off the branch on which we all sit, including them, although it's likely they'll be drawn apart by wild horses sooner than acknowledge that. That they themselves have thereby abrogated their authority.
A warning to my 'fellow' pale males without money: in a way, we shall be their first targets. They will target us with lies. They (that is, the FGC, national GOP politicians, the Fascist noise-and-lies machine) will try to convince us that we, too, are part and parcel of the same class as they. Why, some of them will even condescend to enter our bars and taverns and maybe even will buy us a beer and invite us to sit down with them--if they think they can get what they want from us!
No, brothers, be not deceived: all that mob sees us as their useful dogs, to keep the women and everyone of color at a 'safe' (for them and them only!) distance and to be abundantly fed with crow--that is, by and with James (or Jane?) Crow, Esq. Jim Crow has put on 'bidness' attire, gussied up his name and has hired a secretary. If we were to put on our best and come into their clubs, most of them would scowl at us and hiss, "What the hell are you doing here?!"
But with the women and anyone of color, they won't even waste time trying to humbug them. They'll tell them flatly, "We don't share any power with you anymore! Get back to the kitchen, the barns, the cornfields, the whoopie-houses and stay there! Our word, and only our word, is law to y'all!"
What they don't tell us is those words also apply to us, their supposed 'brethren'--but only when it serves their interest. Apart from that, they mean those words to apply to us as well.
The FGC's decision yesterday carries with it the implication that wealthy white males can do as they like with anything and anyone they choose. Including making free with our goods, our monies and our womenfolk. Droit de seigneur is back all right, but not necessarily for us. Only for them!
Some time ago, actually in the wake of the 2016 election, the time came to dust off Madame and prepare to use her. We are now overdue for that. Maybe only in the sense of disabling the political and economic power of our currently ruling oligarchy, but I say, by any means necessary!
All of us, male and female, whatever color of skin, hair and eyes we have, who have little or no more wealth than our humble homes and vehicles and whatever skills we may have, need now to join together and unseat our Fascist Grand Council, put the Fascist noise-and-lies machine out of business and dump almost any and every officeholder with (R) before or after their names, depending on local circumstances.
Can we wait till midterms? I'm not sure of that anymore. Hath not this FGC given Trumpelthinskin a more effective tool to suspend or cancel elections altogether? I'm not sure but it surely looks and feels that way to me.
Now is the time for all of us who have no or little wealth to rise up and take back what rightfully belongs to all of us, all of We The People. God willing, we shall do this nonviolently but if the Fascists start shooting, let us respond. Now, fellow citizens (for the moment anyway). Now, all colors, races, ethnicities and faiths. Now, men and women. Now. Now. Now!
