I just read a warning to conservatives that electing Joe Biden would be "the end of America." It made me wonder - seriously - What would that look like to them? Because to my eye, the "end of America" looks like federal police taking people off the streets into unmarked cars. 1/7
2/7 To my eye, "the end of America" looks like police kneeling on George Floyd& #39;s neck while he gasps & #39;I can& #39;t breathe!& #39; or breaking into Breonna Taylor& #39;s house at night and killing her. It looks like police teargassing innocent protesters and shooting rubber bullets at them.
3/7 To my eye, the "end of America" looks like the lynching of Amaud Arbery, by chasing him in a pickup truck and shooting him. And then the way it took police and prosecutors so long to figure out that it was wrong.
4/7 To my eye, "the end of America" looks like an administrative branch so corrupt that it lies with impunity, pardons child predators, conducts official gov& #39;t business in ways that line the pockets of the President & his sycophants, and that rejects all criticism as "fake news".
5/7 To my eye, "the end of America" looks like children in cages and concentration camps. It looks like a gov& #39;t intent on taking certain groups of people out of the Census count in clear violation of the Constitution. It looks like the normalizing of hate speech and actions.
6/7 To my eye, "the end of America" looks like an administrative branch that has managed the Covid pandemic with mis-information, indifference, & complete incompetence. More than 148,000 people have died, and many more will die because of this utter incompetence and indifference.
7/7 Seriously, what are these conservatives imagining "the end of America" will look like? We already have legal abortion, so that& #39;s not it. Is it a country where you are expected to treat each other - regardless of religion, gender, race, etc. - with dignity and respect?
