Obscene Supreme Court Ruling Prompts… Not Much from the Proletariat

This a repost of a piece written by Martin Fredericks IV, on his site, IV Words.

In his piece, Martin wonders about the deafening silence following a Supreme Court decision that essentially paves the way for an American monarchy or autocracy. Two-hundred and forty-eight years ago today The Declaration of Independence was birthed, rejecting the idea of a monarchy.

Two-hundred and forty-eight years after brave men and women put their lives at risk to reject monarchy, Americans are reacting to a Supreme Court decision taking a cleaver to democracy with, “Hey Marge, could you pass the artichoke dip,” and “What time do the fireworks start?”

Happy fucking birthday.
