Can I Just Say…

The end of Roe is what America wants! Oh, yes. You heard me correctly. This SCOTUS and all their rulings are exactly the America citizens want. I understand it is a bold and somewhat absurd statement, yet it is rooted in my political philosophy of how the will of the people is made manifest. How can you deny that the vast majority of Americans had and do have the right to vote or not vote? Granted, SCOTUS and states have made it more difficult but not impossible. Nonetheless, people can and do vote. Likewise, people fail to vote, and perhaps this is my point. While the numerous periodic polls on any hot-button political topic are enlightening, they are meaningless. The only poll that matters is the one that happens at the election box. For those who claim — “Oh, voting is not important”; “Voting is complicated”; “My vote doesn’t count”; “All the parties are the same”; or “I’ll vote next time” — what am I supposed to infer from these non-voters? For their failure to vote is, in fact, a vote of sorts. Everyone who sits on the sideline misapprehends that a failure to vote could very well be an implicit vote for the opposition. Silence is consensus!

Moreover, people vote (obviously) but vote in ignorance. Or do they? One can only assume that most people who vote are well informed. Yes, it is laughable to surmise this, but their votes are an official understanding of the political facts and consequences at that moment. Whether voters knew what the f*** they were doing or not is inconsequential because the result is the same: Someone wins. When traitor trump stands before the nation on numerous occasions and declares he will only install SCOTUS justices that will overturn Roe and that women should be punished for getting an abortion, then what else am I to assume? People did not hear? People thought he was bluffing? People did not care? No matter: Voters elected him. This is why I keep saying that the America you see around you today is the America that people desire and, indeed, deserve. The protests mean nothing because while it evinces that people are agitated enough to walk in the streets and show off their homemade signs when it comes to the actual “difficult” action of voting and when it comes to people expressing their preferred political preference, then the “true” majority is suddenly absent. So, make no mistake, f***tards. This is the America people want until the next election. Then we’ll see just how committed the “people” are to democracy and freedom. I think you’ll find they are just as devoted to democracy as they were to not voting and voting, which led us to this moment in the first place. Welcome to stupid America!
