There’s no real debate about it, I can say, without hesitation or reservation, election day 2020 will be without question the most significant, meaningful and impactful day in the history of this empire since November 6, 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected. It was an event which laid the road to multiple states leaving the Union, forming the Confederate States of America and sending this divided nation into four years of bloody, bloody internal conflict.

The outcome of the Presidential election, regardless of who’s the victor, has the ability to alter the course of what has been touted as the most advanced form of civilization ever known to humankind - either Joe Biden wins, and is able to “hang on” to his seat of power and maintain this flawed, conflicted attempt at “Representative Democracy,” or the United States is going to regress into Donald Trump’s personal thiefdom, a fascist plutocracy headed up by a racist, sexist and extremely elitist-minded hustler.

So very, very much is, as they say “on the line” in this pending change of power.

King Trump has all but guaranteed he will not go quietly into the good night. He will not concede defeat and has laid the groundwork for the idea that he cannot lose, can only be cheated and screwed out of what is legitimately his throne. People like the notable Bill Maher, our era’s Mark Twain, Documentary producer Michael Moore and little ol’ me - we’ve been pointing out this harsh reality for almost 4 years, and most have poo-pooed our warnings, all while our well-warranted concern of a self-anointed King is coming-to-life before our very weary eyes.

If Trump refuses to accept the people’s verdict, I can guarantee we’re going to have more you know what on our hands than just a little bit. The Oath Keepers, The Proud Boys, infiltrated law enforcement agencies and well organized “Militias” are on official presidential “stand-by” orders at this very moment.

All we can do at this point to possibly avoid this catastrophe is to turn-out to vote in unprecedented numbers. Black men under 100 years old must step-up and show-up, stop being the weak-leak within Black America. If we don’t defeat this last stand for “minority rule,” Black America will find itself being dragged, kickin’ n’ screamin’ back, back, back into a 21st century of some form of a neo-apartheid “separate and unequal” era. That seems obvious and undeniable. There is a stated objective and goal for Trump’s movement - to take back America and make it 1953 again.”

As folks have been saying: vote like your health, well being and life in general, is at stake, and that of those you love and hold near n’ dear is at stake, because it all is on the razor’s edge.

Power to the people ...we’re going to need it.
