Ending This Long Era of Worsening Injustice

RE: Democracy In Chains by Nancy MacLean and Conservatives Without Conscience by John Dean

Since
– Brown v Board of Education in 1954 that caused Virginia to shut down all public education for a short time and initiated a Libertarian school of propaganda,
– the sexual revolution of the 60s that scared the religious right,
– the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1971 that increased corporate lobbyists by thousands,
– the facilitation of the 1971 Powell Memo by billionaires like the Koch brothers that laid the foundation for corporations to control our government,
– the Presidency of Ronald Reagan that advanced union busting and the austerity of economic neoliberalism and trickle-down BS that enriches the excessively wealthy,
– the various telecommunication acts of 90s that turned news into entertainment for profit and allowed vast consolidation/homogenization across the nation, and
– SCOTUS’ decisions like Citizens United,

the right-wing authoritarian extremists have advanced their agenda to
– neuter the federal government,
– end majority rule,
– give veto power to the 1%, and
– advance their personal “economic liberty” without regard to the resulting economic, social, racial, and environmental injustices inflicted upon both the people of America and the nations of the world with resources to steal.

Act now and get politically active. Support your local party, volunteer for a candidate, donate to either or both, learn what it takes to be a candidate, register to vote, help register voters, become a precinct chair, join a movement, etc.

Instead of sharing instances of what we all know is a new era of escalating injustice, share ideas of what others are doing to end this era like:

Poor People’s Campaign
March for Our Lives
Popular Resistance
