(#6409) 76 days until the election

      In the past we used to see national elections heat up after Labor day here in the states. However as you may obviously know we are not in normal times. The heating up phase has been since the creature trump was elected and given majorities in both chambers of Congress. He holds slight advantages in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. So he had the ability to pass legislation that has pretty much crippled our egalitarian progress on social and economic issues. He has even had a two thirds majority on the Supreme Court as a buffer to keep his constitutionally suspect legislation intact. However, he has been so severe and greedy in so many ways that even his political advantages have failed to secure his more notorious agenda.
     It is in the failing to pass even worse legislation that has helped give hope to we the people who were on paper at least at a huge disadvantage. We were close to being at his mercy but the courts outside the Supreme Court were not to be bulldozed by his nefarious attempts to further neuter democratic principles. These lower courts exhibited the courage that legislators in his party were incapable of summoning up for themselves. Which also served to give we the people hope that we would survive the overthrow of our cherished democratic nation. As cruel and inhumane as trump and his acolytes attempted to be there has been no permanent damage done yet to our electoral process.
     We have 26 days until Pennsylvania begins their early voting and 26 days left for trump to disrupt that timing. He has no constitutional avenue for subverting our election other than his unconstitutional imaginings. He won't even pretend through lies that he is trying to help we the people. He is just happy enough to call us weak and miserable souls who let emotion interfere with his brand of brutality. What is likely to happen is that he will not get to disrupt our voting and that voting will allow us to end both his majorities in Congress. It will also allow us to end a lot of republican majorities in the states. Even the local levels will see an unprecedent change to governance with democrats winning everywhere.
