Here two articles from Substack that sum up the GOP’s all-out assault on individual rights, freedom, and democracy — basically an assault on YOU and those YOU value as fellow human beings:

Remember folks, this began as an attack on immigrants and their rights. But, as those of us in the NDPA recognized and predicted, it didn’t end there!
It’s worthy of note that unqualified right-wing extremist hack Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk “honed” his misogynist attack on YOUR individual rights with a scurrilous attack on the rights and humanity of legal asylum seekers.
Dems failure to present a powerful, unified, well-organized defense of the human and legal rights of all people has helped fuel the dehumanization and “Dred Scottification” of almost all members of our society except a certain vocal and well-organized minority of far right White Nationalist extremists, their supporters, and their “fellow travelers!”
The answer:
- Register to vote;
- Speak out;
- Vote every Republican out of office at every level of government!
The GOP recognizes the existential threat presented by younger voters like YOU to their anti-democracy, anti-American, authoritarian plans! That’s why they are determined to pull out all the stops to prevent YOUR voices from being heard and YOUR votes from counting. See, e.g., https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/29/us/politics/republicans-young-voters-college.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare.
As has been shown, YOU can’t rely on the Biden Administration and so-called “centrist Dems” to do this for YOU! They have shown a disturbing willingness to “sell out” individual groups — like asylum seekers, migrants, social justice advocates, and transgender youth — when they believe (even if wrongly) that it is politically expedient to do so!
YOU are going to have to use the democratic tools still available to control your own future and the destiny of generations to follow! YOU are getting a very graphic illustration of the “alternate future.” And, notably, it has no place for YOU and YOUR values!
🇺🇸 Due Process Forever! It’s more than a slogan — it’s a movement!
