Whoa, things are changing
So, the last few days I have been angry. Scratch that. FURIOUS. With everything going on, hurting people (of any race, nationality, gender, etc) IS WRONG. And the fact I'm seeing that all over and it's *okay* according to so many, hurts me at my deepest levels.
I live with an Republican (claims they are a centrist but acts otherwise), and they are offensive constantly, agreeing with King Orange Man and loving him like the devout follower praying to his god like he is, and now just I am full of disbelief.
I really have always been a centrist (or independent in other words), but recently I have not been able to agree with much going on in the right. Back in the days the right had the Rhinos, which I didn't always disagree with. And now, MAGA, just isn't my thing, as it is the source of self-servance (you know what I mean by this I hope) and hypocrisy.
I have always tried to be objective and look at the situation from outside of it. But frankly, this is not just affecting me, or Democrats, or Independents, or hell, just the Republicans. This is a Rich VS Poor scheme, and the RICH have won. As they got the tax cuts they wanted while being able to campaign with how they would be able to help the poor (with minimal improvements, and that end at the end of 2028, btw. Read the bill). So yeah, no. Selling the American people false promises, giving them a temporary bribe to pass what you want is not only just morally wrong, but is also ILLEGAL.
Do me me a favor and read the following: "
18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting: This statute criminalizes making or offering an expenditure to influence a person to vote or withhold their vote, or to vote for or against any candidate. It also makes it illegal to solicit, accept, or receive such an expenditure in exchange for a vote or the withholding of a vote. The penalty for violating this law can be a fine, imprisonment for up to one year, or both, with potential for increased penalties (up to two years imprisonment) if the violation was willful.
52 U.S.C. § 10307(c): This law, part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, prohibits knowingly and willfully paying, offering to pay, or accepting payment for registering to vote or for voting in federal elections. It applies to elections for President, Vice President, Presidential elector, and members of Congress, among others. Violations can result in fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both.
18 U.S. Code § 598: This section prohibits using congressional appropriations to interfere with, restrain, or coerce any person in exercising their right to vote."
So yeah, they are COMMITTING crimes, and getting away with it. I don't care if you are on the left, middle, right, or up and down, we should not stand by and allow for the rich to use our own system that is supposed to represent us by putting us into subservience.
Once again, this is just wrong, and they should be put on trial for the crimes they have committed.
Thanks for listening, and please do some research yourself.
