You are supporting Fascism

To: Sen. Budd, Sen. Tillis, Rep. Moore

From: A verified voter in Lake Lure, NC

February 3

This is from a social media post someone wrote. I felt you need to read it in full. (With swear words deleted) Did you watch Trump On Dan Bongino's show? He did not talk about "election security." He did not talk about reforms. He said Republicans should "take over the voting" and that elections should be "nationalized." His words. Not paraphrased. Not implied. Take over the voting. Nationalize it. Because he is still clinging to the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, after six years of lawsuits, audits, recounts, investigations, and public humiliation that produced exactly nothing. Zero evidence. Zero facts. Zero proof. Just a rotting grievance he refuses to let die because he's a thin skinned, insecure, participation trophy obsessed little bch. And if you support this, you are not a patriot. You are not confused. You are not "concerned about fraud." You are a fundamentally anti-American piece of poop who hates democracy because it does not always give you what you want. You despise the Constitution unless it can be weaponized against people you fear and hate. You wrap yourself in flags while cheering the destruction of the only thing that flag is supposed to represent. You do not love this country. You love hierarchy. You love cruelty. You love the idea that some people should rule and others should shut the f up. The stolen election lie is not a belief. It is a weapon. It exists to make democracy optional. If elections are "crooked," then voting is meaningless. If results are fake, then power can be seized and justified. This is why he keeps naming places. Fulton County. Detroit. Philadelphia. Black cities. Diverse cities. Cities that terrify people whose version of America is white, Christian, obedient, and silent. This is not reform. This is targeting. This is punishment. Then comes the part that removes all doubt. Federal agents seizing election records and voter rolls in Fulton County, Georgia, tied to the same election he lost and never accepted. And the sitting Director of National Intelligence inserting herself into it, not to stop it, not to create distance, but to facilitate it. On site. On the phone with Trump. Letting him thank the agents like a crime boss congratulating his crew. That is not oversight. That is rot. That is the state being bent to serve one man's obsession. None of this is normal. Presidents do not "take over the voting." Intelligence chiefs do not hover around election seizures at the request of a defeated candidate. Law enforcement does not become a prop in a grievance tour. And this is happening while Republicans (you) are staring down a midterm bloodbath they (you) know is coming. They (you) know they (you) are about to be demolished at the ballot box. So they (you) are not changing policy. They (you) are changing the rules. They (you) are tearing out constitutional guardrails, floating the Insurrection Act, arresting and killing Americans in the streets, and daring the country to stop them. This tells you everything. Fascism has already taken hold. Not someday. Now. And it is being carried forward by millions of ugly, vicious, small-souled Christian nationalists who would rather protect pedophiles than admit their worldview is garbage. People who scream about "family values" while covering for rapists. People who worship a Constitution they are actively trying to shred. People so morally bankrupt that they will burn the republic to the ground to preserve white supremacy and male dominance for one more generation. So no, you are not merely complicit. You are the fing problem. You are the darkness you pretend to fear. You are what America has survived before and will have to survive again. History will not struggle to name you. It will file you where you belong, with the cowards, the authoritarians, and the people who chose hate over country when the moment demanded something better.
