It was the day after Election Day. All the losing candidates in the hotly contested statewide elections accept defeat gracefully with very cordial congratulations to their opponents. All recognize that an unbiased, critically thinking, informed public has weighed all the issues carefully and elected the very best person for the office in question.
Well, Republicans did win the majority in the House and immediately began meeting to determine what their priorities will be when the new Congress convenes in 2023. You would assume the priorities would be plans to help resolve the problems they complained about so loudly during the campaign. Wrong. In Arizona, incubator of nonstop voting-conspiracy theories and spurious recounts, GOP darlings lost in many races. In Michigan, where the Republican nominee for attorney general is under investigation for tampering with voting tabulation, the top three GOP candidates lost by a total of 1.13 million votes.
Today, we can answer Benjamin Franklin’s challenge in the affirmative as to whether we could keep our republic and democracy. We dodged this threat, but eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and we must be ready for future assaults on our democracy.Every post-midterm poll indicated that the top five issues the citizens of America voted on were abortion, inflation, the threat to democracy, gas prices and personal finances.
I’m even appreciative of the scoundrels who lost in the recent midterms because when faced with defeat, most didn’t call for political upheaval and insurrection. And maybe, just maybe, could you find enough compassion in your heart for incest and rape victims and ask your governor to not further traumatize them with absurd abortion bans? Please? After all, you get to keep as many military weapons and ammunition as you want and carry them pretty much anywhere.
