Today we took our California visitors to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. I teared up watching the film in the Liberty Bell center.
The woman who directed us from the parking garage was a Muslim; the guards were African-American and Latino; and at least half of the visitors were Asian. I was so proud to be an American.
Then I got home and read how the North Carolina legislature has not only changed the state judicial selection system to a partisan election process, but also has gerrymandered the districts to ensure the election of Republican judges who will support voter suppression.
Most of us are proud to be Americans, but not North Carolina legislators. They are doing their best to undermine American values and change our system to a one-party oligarchy. We will lose our democracy not by a coup or a rebellion, but by well-funded middle-aged white guys who can’t stand to share their power, supported by ignorant voters who have no idea what is in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
Maybe some of Trumps supports should visit the Liberty Bell
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would do any good.
