Reviewing The Last Four Years and Anticipating The Next Four Disastrous Years In America!

I wrote this roughly four years ago and posted it quite a while after that on this blog under the name "A Liberal Political Action Plan". I am looking back on it now knowing full well that it will be a miracle if we manage to hang onto any of the few positive wins we have had from it over the past four years. But, whatever happens in the near future, those of us who know just how much we have lost in the November election of 2024 must not surrender to TRAITOR Trump and the Criminal Syndicate he is assembling for his imminent return to the White House, the scene of many of his worst crimes against the USA, the world, and the planet. Their overall plan is to both rob and destroy the government of the United States. None of the people who have been named as nominees for cabinet positions is fit to run a one car funeral, clean shit out of cages at a local humane society, or hold any position of public trust at any level, literally down to constables and dog catchers. Each of them has been required to swear fealty to TRAITOR Trump and been willing to do so in anticipation of whateverit is they think they can steal for themselves. A few of them, including TRAITOR Trump, are already convicted felons. A few of them are accused sex offenders including TRAITOR Trump. All of them are willing contributors to his overall plan for extensive TREASON. None of them are to any degree trustworthy. God Help Us All! We have now lost control of all three branches of government. We cannot allow the 2026 midterm election to occur without regaining control of congress. It is the only hope we have to prevent the loss of democracy in America. In the two years before that 2026 election,anything which can be stolen or destroyed by legislation or executive order will be stolen and destroyed. In the meantime, all of us who understand just how disastrous this recent election was must not just sit down and shut up. We cannotand must now simply sit idly by. Every time one of the current members of congress leaves office for any reason, whether it be resignation, death, or arrest and conviction, we must ensure that their replacement is a loyal member of the Democratic party no matter what state they represent. We must continue to speak outand educate the electorate about the ongoing crime spree by TRAITOR Trump and his Criminal Syndicate. We must Stand Up, Speak Up, and Speak Out! I will return to this post in the next two or three days and update it with reviews of each section below and a discussion of how we have both succeeded and failed in the attempt to bring its goals about. I apologize at this time for the lack of time to complete it today. Introduction: November 3, 2020, was a mixed day for liberal and Democratic political aficionados. While we won the White House, the election is obviously under attack from TRAITOR Trump and his allies both in the US and in Russia. While nearly every legitimate world leader has congratulated and consulted with Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin is still denying the winner any acknowledgement and, like his puppet in Washington is striving to hold onto their ability to damage America. Democrats managed to retain control of the House of Representatives and had a net gain in the senate but the two runoff races in Georgia leave the Senate in doubt. In Kentucky, where most of us live or have roots, we have an excellent governor who is under attack from a slate of elected Republican officials and a solidly Republican state legislature. They have extensive plans to further damage the governor’s ability to successfully manage the state in a time of steadily increasing crisis and they probably have the votes to override most of his potential vetoes of their damaging legislation. The Kentucky Attorney General is joining in every Republican law suit he can in order to further damage the governor’s ability to succeed. The one bright side to the Attorney General’s situation is that he has shot himself in the foot with his highly questionable actions in the Breonna Taylor grand jury and seriously damaged his standing with the African American base from both parties which had previously coalesced to elect him. Kentucky and the nation are both under unrelenting attack by Right Wing Radical Republicans. In this writing, I am setting forth what I consider to be goals for each of us as individuals and all of us as a group for which we should be working on a daily basis just as we all did in the months preceding the November 2020 General Election. I fully realize that all of you might not agree with all of my goals and recognize your right to do so. But, we are small, hard working, intelligent, committed group of politically motivated women and men who have proven over the past several months what we are capable of as individuals. We can prove over the next months and years that we can, as a cohesive group, achieve a great deal more. I do not visualize this group of people becoming a major national force in politics but I also know that we can help promote rational, progressive values in our area and, to a lesser degree in the nation as a whole since each of us has some level of networks with other likeminded people all across the nation. In my original communication to you about forming such a group, I mentioned the idea that, at some time in the future, we might consider meeting face to face at least once. I would love to see that happen. But, for the foreseeable future, that is not possible or advisable until the Covid Crisis is under control. But the dangerous issues being debated in the nation require immediate actions and we have all proven that we are capable of engaging in those actions on an individual basis. I am setting out below several important goals we can work on and I hope you agree with me and decide to take some actions to support those goals. Let me also say that I have absolutely no personal political goals other than being a continual force for good. I do not intend to run for political office and I never will. But I do want to put your mind at ease about the possibility that my intentions could be less than altruistic. I am nearly seventy years old and my wife has been in a wheelchair for more than twenty years. I am also working nearly daily on my career as a published Appalachian writer. I have more than enough to occupy my mind and my time. So let’s look at what I consider to be important actions we can take to help what I hope can become a changed and grateful nation. Immediate Goals: 1) Support President-elect Joe Biden and his administration to overcome the irrational and anti-American opposition to his election which is rooted in the both the legal smoke screens and the Stochastic Terrorism of TRAITOR Trump. We can speak out on Joe Biden’s behalf. We can support whatever actions it becomes necessary for him to take to legally occupy the White House on January 20, 2020, as mandated by the US Constitution. We can write letters to newspapers and magazines on his behalf. We can confront the supporters of TRAITOR Trump wherever and whenever we encounter them. We can make telephone calls to radio and television stations to support him. We can each make whatever monetary contributions to his transition team which we can afford. 2) We can also support the ongoing efforts in Georgia to elect Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to the US Senate in Georgia. As of this writing, the Republicans hold 50 seats in the US Senate without winning either seat in Georgia. If Warnock and Ossoff both win, Vice-President Harris will hold the tie-breaking vote in the senate which would make President Biden’s work much easier. We can each support these two important candidates in all the ways we sought to help Joe Biden, Amy McGrath and other candidates. We can volunteer to make phone calls for them without ever leaving our homes. We can write letters. We can make whatever monetary contributions each of us is comfortable with. 3) For those of us who live in Kentucky, we must support Governor Andy Beshear in his work to save this state both medically and economically. In order to do that, we must actively oppose the efforts of the elected state officials to destroy the governor’s work. We must publicly, in every medium possible, confront their attacks on the governor with telephone calls to their offices; telephone calls to our friends and random strangers; letters to newspapers and television and radio outlets; and continuing everything each of did to help elect the governor and to fight for those candidates who would help his cause. Intermediate Goals: 1) In two years, one third of the US Senate and the entire House of Representatives will be up for reelection. In 2022, Rand Paul will be up for reelection in Kentucky and we have several potentially good candidates to replace him such as Charles Booker, Andy Beshear, and others. We must work to defeat Rand Paul just as hard as we tried to replace Mitch McConnell this year and, in this case, we must win. 2) We will also have an opportunity to replace many of the Republican state legislators in Kentucky including, especially, Goforth, Wheeler, and the entire Republican state delegation. We work to defeat them by assisting viable candidates, inducing candidates to run, and registering and turning out Democratic votes. We must develop a plan to register a majority new eighteen year old potential voters, to educate those voters, and to keep them in the Democratic fold. I have at least one good idea on that front which I will discuss later. 3) In 2023, we will be facing another statewide election in Kentucky and we must work in all the ways above to elect a statewide ticket of Democratic candidates including Governor Beshear if that is what he believes is his best option. We should also do all we can to induce as many of his inner circle of cabinet members and key advisors to seek either lesser statewide offices, congressional offices, mayoral posts in our larger cities, or positions as county judge executives. In Conclusion: This has been worked out in my head for several months although this is the first attempt I have made to put it into writing. It is at best a rough draft, a preliminary plan, which I wanted to get to all of you before the fire in our bellies dies as we move away from the recent election. But always remember that the next election always begins, at the latest, when the votes have been counted in the most recent one. We must keep fighting as if our lives, our nation, and our state depends on it, which it definitely does. Please send me your impressions of this set of idea along with your honest criticisms and your own ideas which may differ from mine.
