Let’s begin with a couple of facts; facts you will never hear from the television media, or from either political party. First, historically, the American people experience a better quality of life when Democrats are in control of our government. History proves this goes back to the first term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933 through the presidency of Barrack Obama from 2009 until January 20, 2017.
Second, a large voter turnout almost guarantees a Democratic victory in our elections. Most recently the 2018 midterm elections proved this fact. The truth is that if the Electoral College did not exist, a Democrat would have been living in the White House from 1993 until this very day. Democrats won the popular vote in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2016. The only exception was Bush 43’s second term in 2004 which would not have happened if he had not been given the presidency by the Supreme Court in 2000.
Lastly, Republican politicians are aware that their only opportunity to win elections is reliant upon a lower than expected voter turnout.
In 2016 the one issue not discussed by the mainstream media, political ‘experts,’ and by either party is likely the primary reason why Trump was gifted the Electoral College.
Russia’s interference with the use of social media was far more effective than our government would like you to know. Trump’s victory in the Electoral College depended upon the results in three critical states. The total difference in these three states which offered a critical number of Electoral Votes gave him the 270 needed to secure a victory. In Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, less than 80,000 votes decided who would become the 45th President of the United States. This makes Trump’s illegitimate ‘victory’ the smallest in history.
All three states had a lower than expected voter turnout. Russia’s efforts on social media discouraged millions of voters from going to the polls. This is the primary reason why Trump is now our nation’s illegitimate president.
What can we, patriotic Americans who love our country and support the Constitution, do to change the fascist policies of Trump and his Republican Party in name only? We can vote in historic numbers on November 3, 2020. If we create long lines at the polls; if millennials and women realize that they can control the results of the election; Trump and his hypocritical party have no chance of retaining control of our nation. We can save America by taking our country back from the enemy.
I beg all of you to become activists and get the vote out next year. This is our country; not Trump’s or the nation of his hypocritical and anti-American party.
