Now that I've stopped crying - losing Ruth Bader Ginsburg

 



Original art by Jenny Belin, whose older brother Max and I are very close friends (I don’t know Jenny well - she lives on the other side of the country whereas Max and I shared a flat for a couple of years). Much of her portfolio, including her series of feminists, can be found at jennybelin.com. RBG herself owned a copy of this.

My own feelings, now that I’ve stopped crying:

This is probably the whole ball game. If Trump manages to get another justice on the court our slip into Fascism will be complete. RBG was the keystone holding back the court from issuing stomach-churning positions on everything on gay rights to abortion to everything that the State of New York is trying to put Trump on trial for.

Given some of the insane news that has broken even in just the past week, from COVID-19 lies to James-Bond-villain-heat-rays to Sedition charges against protesters (or holding them on $1 Million Bond) 7 million voters disenfranchised in Florida to the “antifa arson” hoax to Sterilizing women in ICE custody.. the list seems endless.

Four things have to happen for The United States to not become a complete Fascist State 

  1. McConnell fails to hold his caucus together for 46 days 
  2. Trump loses 
  3. Democrats take the Senate 
  4. McConnell fails to get a new justice approved in the lame duck 

 ALL 4 THINGS
