When you loose all three branches of government after holding majority power, I'd say that's a loss.
When you loose all three branches of government and then seek to suddenly enact repressive race based legislation that sounds like 1960's race hate... I'd say that's a decline, certainly it isn't progress.
As Republicans loose their entire grip on government, their response is not to, develop a better or more productive strategy, but rather to go home and return with a greater enthusiasm towards stripping the American people of their civil and voter rights.
While on its face this is targeted at African Americans, the deeper problem is the resurgence of racial division and domination whose roots go as far back as the Civil War.
Spurred on the the racist rants of a "populist" president these law makers have responded to a base that not only controls huge swaths of the U.S. economy, but have traditionally centered power in within the hands of a predominantly white, male, "conservative" base.
While in recent years the word "CONSERVATIVE" has become a not so subtle code for "people who promote and support racially motivated political policy".
A disservice to actual Conservatives, who traditionally had very fiscally and hawkish views, are now the lead in America's nationalist movement.
These politicians in spite of failing to govern, in a legal and productive way, are hailed as hero's for attempting to enact legislation which rolls back decades of Civil Rights and Human Rights political progress.
Some of what they are collectively attempting to do include:
- Strip black voters of rights
- Prosecute legal public displays of protest
- Abuse protestors with violent and lethal police tactics
- Criminalize the peaceful protests
- Continue shooting Black and Brown citizens without any penalty or prosecution
- Continue supporting the January 6 insurrection in D.C.
- Actively working to conceal the political conspiracy around the supposed "riots"
- Actively working to cover up murders, and political disruptive activities which target political leaders at the highest levels.
- Supporting a political coup or even a civil war
- Supporting mass proliferation of weapons as a cover to arming their political base
- Supporting vigilantism among their base and targeted at lawful political protests and even journalists
- Enacting voter repression laws in areas with high Conservative votes, contested by large minority voter groups
- Enacting laws that do not reform or limit police powers, but further empower the police to shoot, maim, and torture citizens without recourse, prosecution or accountability
- Continuing to support gun proliferation in spite of over 240 mass shootings so far this year
- Continuing to strike at gay rights
- Continuing to strike as abortion rights laws
This is just some of the actual and real political movements sweeping the "Conservative " base of this country which are not actually Conservative policies, but rather racially motivated laws, designed to keep power centered among a small elite, much like the National Socialist Movement of Germany in the 1930's.
A "conservative" right wing, race based movement, led by the White "property/factory owners", who motived their poor "pure German" base, against EVERYONE else.
This was essentially to do their work, and fight in the street for them while they fanned the flames of hate, prejudice, and bigotry, all for the sake and purpose of political gain.
Stand up against this racial tide of bigotry and support positive change and accountability among all sectors of American society.
