By the end of the day Monday, perhaps no later than Tuesday, Republicans will be poised to complete their long-term goal of turning the United States into a tyranny.
It’s not that abortion will be outlawed, or Obamacare, or hundreds of thousands of marriages, although all are possible in the nearly three months remaining until Inauguration. Great harm will have been done, but much of it can be undone.
Instead, it’s that the election may turn — as it has before — on the Supreme Court siding with power against justice. Atop all the voter suppression we’ve seen to date, one adverse ruling regarding, say, Pennsylvania, might be enough to throw it.
And then we’re finished. Not because America sought a tyrant, but because it was deliberately and methodically saddled with one. A significant minority of citizens will have completed its goal of wresting enduring power from the majority.
Tyranny, not by a small cabal of miscreants seizing the reins of government, but by half of white Americans ensuring that their historical unjust dominance over the rest of us remains unchecked for the foreseeable future.
