   What’s This Election REALLY About? by the Markin Report (Oct 5, 2024)
   On the right side of history, the left side of politics, making sense of a world turned upside down
   
   The Markin Report is a blog run by Sheila Markin Nielsen a former Assistant US Attorney.  She helps people to understand in plain English what is going on in US politics today. It is a left to far left lean.

   As has been strongly suggested in these forums is to seek sources beyond MSM. Over the last year I have read both conservative and liberal blogs, newsletters, and websites. This is an article from one source that is not MSM.

   The opening two paragraphs are . . .
   
   "A lot of Americans are upset and fearful about this presidential election. Why is this election so emotional for so many of us?
   
   In America today there are two fierce cultural movements representing two radically different world views that are being championed by our two major political parties. The tension is real and intense. Americans believe that we are choosing our future culture in this election. And they are right.  If Trump and Vance win this election, our democracy is probably over. They may try to pretend that that is not true, but the Project 2025 playbook that Trump’s close allies have created, is a blueprint for completely altering the foundational structure of our government and they have already been interviewing and promising jobs to Trump loyalists. In the process of turning the country into an autocracy (dictatorship), we will be thrust into a time of upheaval as the rabid right deconstructs our government and tries to deport people of color- some of whom will be people who have lived all or most of their lives in this country (The Dreamers)."
