No Rest for the Resistance in Kentucky
The Kentucky repugs are already gearing up to steal the governship from Andy Beshear, and they're not even trying to hide it.
There
are obstacles, but they could definitely do it. This isn't politics
anymore; it's fighting to the death. Every day, over everything large
and small.
But there are election results far more disturbing than possibly losing the governorship.
Repugs
have taken the only two state officers held by Democrats, and they are
the most important ones: Attorney General and Secretary of State.
With
those in Democratic hands even while repugs took the entire fucking
legislature and the Governor's Mansion, Democrats could still protect
Kentuckians from the worst of Bevin's attacks on women, teachers, and
families of disabled children, and from the massive voter suppression
and election fraud repugs always run when they have the Secretary of
State position.
The repug AG and SoS have more power than
even a repug governor like Bevin had, and they will try to turn Kentucky
into fucking Mississippi as fast as they can.
If they succeed, We. Are. Completely. Fucked.
There's
only one way to stop them: Donate to the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, who will be filing a blizzard of lawsuits to try to stop
the Mississippification of Kentucky.
Keeping
Beshear in the Governor's Mansion is great. Obstructing the repug
Attorney General and Secretary of State is absolutely critical.
