Fighting Back against the Minority Authoritarians
Our Democracy Depends on our Votes — Now More Than Ever
The current state of our Democracy was shamefully put on display on April 6 when the Tennessee State Legislature sought to expel three Democratic members for “violation of the rules.” In truth, the rules broken had more to do with their beliefs and race, and the undeniable fact that all three are not part of what has become a “Minority Authoritarianism” in the United States.
In an April 12, 2023 article in The New York Times entitled “The Republican Strategists Who Have Carefully Planned All of This,” Theda Skocpol, a professor of political science and sociology at Harvard, was quoted as saying that the “Minority Authoritarians” have:
“… figured out how to rig the current U.S. system of federalism and divided branches, given generational and geographic realities on the ground, and the in many ways fluky 2016 presidential election gave them what they needed to put the interlock in place. They are stoking and using the fears and resentments of about half of the G.O.P. popular base to undo American democracy and enhance their own power and privileges. They are doing it because they can, and they believe in what they are doing. They are the G.O.P. Leninists. This situation, locked in place by a corruptly installed Supreme Court majority and by many rotten-borough judicial districts … means that minority authoritarians, behind a bare façade of “constitutionalism,” can render majority-elected officials, including the president and many governors, officials in name only.”
In plain language, how does this relate to us here in New Jersey Legislative District 9 and the upcoming election on November? It means that we can no longer sit back and risk ceding control of our statehouse to radical Republicans who will change the rules at will, imposing on the voting majority of New Jersey rule by an authoritarian minority. It is happening nationwide.
It can happen here.
We must spread the word vehemently to vote in the November 7 election like our democracy depends on it, because it does. The best tool that we have at our disposal to drive the minority authoritarians out of our government, at the federal, state, and local levels, is to vote, vote, VOTE!
Vote for Gabriel Franco, State Senator LD9, and Sally Collins and Joe Atura for State Assembly, LD9, while also supporting your local Democratic municipal candidates.
