Voting Rights Violations

New Escalations On Freedom Of The Press And Voting Rights By Trump Administration!

Ronald 10 Comments

Alarming new escalations on Freedom of the Press and Voting Rights are being promoted by Donald Trump and his Cabinet and other collaborators, with never a day going by that a new outrage is not being perpetrated.

Shocking news that Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor, has been arrested, along with other journalists, for engaging in interviews and reporting at a Minnesota church in which protestors engaged in demonstrations against the horrors of the ICE intervention in Minneapolis, at a church in which the pastor is an ICE administrator.

Also, the FBI has raided the Georgia Elections Office in Atlanta to seize the records of the voters and vote results of the Presidential Election of 2020, a sign of the purpose to intervene illegally in future elections in 2026 and 2028 in Georgia, a key swing state. Donald Trump continues to claim that the results in Georgia in 2020 were fixed and corrupt against him, a sign of his mental instability.

Already, Attorney General Pam Bondi has told Minnesota government leaders that the aggressive ICE intervention in that state would end if the state government would share voter rolls and information, another sign of the federal government trying to interfere with future elections, and gain private information about voters, an illegal action.

The Trump Administration is continuing to engage in authoritarian moves, and there are mass demonstrations all over the country to resist such actions, in what is clearly a never ending struggle for survival of American democracy and the rule of law.

History Tells Us Many States Are Not Protective Of Their Population: Reason Why We Need Federal Government!

Conservatives and libertarians love to promote the propaganda that “states rights” are the best government, and that state governments are there for their population’s needs.

History tells us otherwise, clear and simple.

“States rights” promoted 76 years of slavery under the Constitution, until it was ended by the Union winning the Civil War over the Confederacy.

“States rights” promoted segregation of the races for nearly a century after the Civil War until the 1960s.

“States rights” promoted laws against marriage, including blacks and whites, and gays and lesbians.

“States rights” promoted vigilante justice, including lynchings, chain gangs, and overly harsh criminal justice laws.

“States rights” promoted men having dominance over their wives in marriages, and resulting abuses toward women.

“States rights” promoted inferior education, including denial of historical facts, and of science, favoring religious ideas over facts.

“States rights” promoted violations of voting rights, with the intent of ruling white upper classes controlling who could vote.

“States rights” promoted denial of health care to people, while insisting on all fetuses being taken to birth against a woman’s wishes.

“States rights” promoted resistance to the Bill of Rights, and to federal government political, social, and economic reforms that made America pursue the goals of democracy, equality, and justice.

Those states that have regularly promoted “states rights” have been the most backward, the most discriminatory, the most regressive. the poorest, and have depended on the more advanced and open minded states for their economic existence.

It is the “Red” states, those in the old Confederate South, and in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain West, where we see the worship of “states rights”, as long as the elite political and religious hierarchy keep control over their populations, and keep them ignorant and under mind control.

History tells us that these states are not protective of the needs of their population, the reason we need a strong, assertive federal government, ready to step in, and having bettered life for people who are seemingly unaware how they have been manipulated by corrupt state governments.
