An awakening in America (#3580)

     We see the dirty tricks that republicans are making successful now. We don't have to guess how they get what they want outside the will of the American electorate, we see their election malpractice as a strategy. So it isn't surprising that many more of us are angry at them for not holding our trust with honor. As was evident in this last election the tide has turned against republican politics even in states that were heavily republican just 2 years ago. The next big test will be the election in Misissippi. I know that the institutional bias will likely play there since repuiblicans have controlled Mississippi politics for many decades now but again the awakening has come along and those voters who were frustrated there into thinking their votes were inconsequential are now angry and ready to vote no matter hell or high water.
     I do not predict a democratic win in that senate race but I expect it to be surprising and if surprising enough the disgraced republican candidate may find the same result as the disgraced candidate in Alabama experienced last year. It is because we are not in the dark as to who these people running for office are nor are we in the dark as to their ulterior motives and agendas. There is still a lot of blind loyalty to the republican party but that is consistently dwindling even as I write this post. So with less enthusiam for republicans and more enthusiasm for democrats the odds increase for an upset in Mississippi. It may be too early in that deep southern state but I know that a better life is more appealing than one where we are marginalized and taken advantage of.
     We will see but overall the indicators are that the tide is growing for democratic politics because it is one of the people at large and not just the wealthy. It seems crazy that there is even a debate how people of an ordinary stripe would vote but again institutional prejudices and biases with a boatload of misleading propaganda has kept our soeciety from discovering their united strength. When we the people finally decide that we are the masters of what our society should prioritize it will be the end of the republican party as we know it. The awakening is real and it is happening but it must not stop to admire or look back. The awakening must keep pushing forward until we get all of us on the same page as to what honorable vision we Americans are willing to exemplify.
