On July 4th, patriotic Americans continue the struggle that began 244 years ago to protect the inalienable rights set out in the Declaration of Independence. Today, the rights that untold numbers of Americans have died defending are under assault, but not by a foreign power. They are under assault by a domestic force. Never before has each and every single civil right that we have fought for in those 244 years in multiple struggles dating back to the very birth of the United States been attacked by a Presidential administration that is hellbent on the destruction of our country.
He has consistently attacked any form of criticism against him levied by the media, and has threatened the media several times, undermining the 1st Amendment. He has also tried to specifically ban Muslims from entering the United States, a clear violation of this amendment.
He has invoked the 2nd Amendment, but only for a subset of white Americans. If nonwhite Americans or “the wrong whites” tried to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, he would most certainly try to crush them.
He has somehow managed to make the 3rd Amendment relevant again, by trying to turn the military on its own people.
He has violated the 4th Amendment by ordering unreasonable searches and seizures without any form of backlash due to the nonexistent spines of members of his own party except for a select few like the Lincoln Project.
He has deprived others of life, liberty, and/or property without due process of law in violation of the 5th Amendment.
He has granted nothing but unfair trials to undocumented immigrants, in clear violation of the 6th Amendment.
He has violated the 7th Amendment through his attempts at so-called “tort reform”.
He has kept undocumented immigrants in horrid conditions that violate the 8th Amendment.
He has violated other civil rights that were not laid out explicitly in the Bill of Rights, but still protected by the 9th Amendment.
He has tried to argue that he has total authority over the states, which is not true, and a clear violation of the 10th Amendment.
He has accepted help from a Foreign Power who has antagonized the United States for several years prior to his election and has trampled on the sovereignty of Ukraine and now the United States.
He has admired the leadership of another autocratic Foreign Power, this one expressing Communist ideals, and has also admired their brutal crackdown on the Tiananmen Square Protests. He also owes its bank, the Bank of China, tens of millions of dollars in debt.
He has expressed a fondness for fascist ideals, calling marchers who bore their symbols “very fine people” despite acts of violence committed at their rallies.
He has used memorials to the war dead of the United States and to our Founding Fathers as political advertisements, railing against his enemies and what he wrongly perceives to be the enemies of the United States.
He has discarded all notions of civility, and has repeatedly engaged in ugly attacks on his opponents, often not even attacking what they said about him, but cruelly mocking things that they cannot control, such as their race, sex, religion, disability, etc
It is not merely right to resist. It is in fact the duty of all Americans to protest these injustices. Your country needs you to say NO to your President and YES to your Constitution and your Civil Rights.
March on the streets. Write letters. Boycott businesses who support Donald Trump and his cronies.
Most important of all, no matter how much he may try to disenfranchise you or make it difficult for you, VOTE ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020 TO END THIS 4-YEAR NIGHTMARE.
