The trending influx of a more
non-white male demographic profile to the electorate correlated with the
explosion of digital information to fact check erroneous mathematics to beguile
the masses under the cult of faulty macroeconomic policies should cause a reckoning
within the Republican Party.
The 2012 red-state presidential
campaign portrayed an arrogance to not only ignore the core social issues of those
demographics by living inside a bubble, but anesthetized itself into believing
that intransigent congressional policies to sabotage the incumbent would go
unnoticed.
Escalating a commitment away from
access to health care, women’s rights, marriage equality, pathways to
citizenship, and basic economic level playing fields imprinted a stark contrast
in the America outside the land not dominated by tractors, rifles, and pews.
The pull towards science, math, environmental
consciousness, and global economic strategies, and quite frankly the decreased
reliance on religion as a political crutch, will proliferate as web-based
mediums disseminate free-thinking to a greater portion of the population
independent of income.
The Republican party of Lincoln
no longer exists. I hope for America’s
sake that the party cuts ties from the pact it has made with Grover Norquist
and the Tea Party to see past the politics of isolation, blame and obstructionism
that have led to tonight in order to capture the best ideals of Lincoln;
individual freedom based in facts, math, truth and equality.
My best hope is that we have
strong political thinkers in Washington who can tackle these issues, and maybe tonight
America’s rebuttal to the traffic jam of a sixty member filibuster Senate and
do-nothing House will have a chance at doing just that. Peace, Love, We are all interconnected.
