The President has proudly announced that he would like to see the election date changed or moved from 11/3/20 the second Tuesday following the first Monday as the Constitution outlines. Why would a President of the United States, who calls himself a Republican, honestly “push” an election in direct contradiction to the Constitution?
Many have concluded that it is just an attempt at a power grab attempting to make people upset that it is his intent to force people to think solely about his historic attempts at power grabs.
But lets take a moment and think…..
As a person who has an opinion, about pretty much everything, I must say that my view of this is very different. So here it goes, and feel free to post your views…..
I think Donald Trump is trying to sew this discord because people are becoming too close to one another and figuring out that the only way the human race can survive is to help each other.
He hates that BLM protests are happening where White people, Black & Brown people, old people, young people, straight people, LGBT (GLBT as we used to call it (for those of you who don’t know I am from Central Pennsylvania where being gay was not a “thing”)), are showing up to support any cause other than him. Please remember that this was the same man who would tell people “you should not be voting together, you are two totally different people.”
Donald Trump operates in this void where society is constantly in an aggressive stance toward someone else or the “other”. Donald is not happy unless both of those people are voting for him.
So since that theory only worked in the last election this time we had to do something new. So now we are just going to flat out discourage people from voting, like full on, discourage them. Now we are going to tell people the election isn’t happening or the date has changed. Is this the Jim Crow south? Mess with people’s heads so they lose track of actually voting. He want’s to discourage voter turnout, change the date, lose people in the fray, and sweep into power by “fooling” people yet again.
Please, please, please do not let this man practice in the void yet again. He has done it by fooling people, done it by dividing people, done it by creating hardship for people, and pushed a fully racist agenda. Please fight back against any sign of voter supression. If the Country truly wants Donald Trump after all the voices are heard, then so be it. I just do not want anyone’s voice to not be heard.
Let us see if we can push this to be the largest voter turnout in history. Let 2020 stand in the record books as the year that more than half of the eligible voting population turned out.
