Election 2014: Fascism Regnant
Around the U.S. yesterday right-wing and far-right candidates stomped their way to victory in an election demonstrating unbelievable strength by economic fascists. From Rick Scott in the far south to a Gardiner in Colorado, Republican candidates defeated worthy and experienced centrists in a display of chutzpah not seen in years.
In the wee hours of the morning today I found myself reading about the work of Greg Palast who has uncovered yet another Jim Crow scheme by Republicans meant to suppress the vote this year. I'm sure there were other such efforts. I'll have more details later.
But the "results" as announced yesterday hardly qualify as an endorsement by the American people of the end of the Civil Rights movement in America. With relatively low turn-out expected, the large body of the populace has not yet spoken at the ballot box on questions of economic security, health security, and the right to a decent education by all.
What we do have is a kind of putsch by wealthy oligarchs who have just purchased the best Congressional leadership money can buy.
God save America.
