Go to hell Ted Cruz

These things start with a whisper. At first, it doesn’t seem like much. Perhaps it is just a few crazies engaging in extremist chatter. Just put it out of your mind. Forget about it. It’s not important. That is — it’s not essential until the whisper becomes a murmur that turns into a high-pitched squeal and then reaches a crescendo.

And then — with a snap of their fingers — a stroke of their pens – they take our rights away. This is how it began with abortion. Many did not take them seriously. There was no reason to, for we thought we were safe. The public would never stand for it. Well — fast-forward to 2022. It’s happened. Roe has been overturned.

And as achingly painful, as horrifying as that is — we have to ask the next logical question. What’s next? For as sure, as the birds sing their morning lullabies, there will be a “next.” And that’s something we must face.

It’s why voting is so crucial. It is the most important thing we can do this year. So what IS next? If Raphael Cruz has anything to say about it — same-sex marriage is next. It’s already started, you see. The whispers have begun.

It started with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ Roe opinion. Emboldened and mad with control and power, Justice Thomas TALKED ABOUT what issues he’d like to look at next — an almost unheard of thing to do.

Not in this America. Not in the Extreme Court’s America. And most definitely not in the world of Raphael Cruz. Cruz has come out and said it — that the Supreme Court got same-sex marriage wrong, and it needs to be examined.

“Obergefell, like Roe v. Wade, ignored two centuries of our nation’s history. Marriage was always an issue that was left to the states.”

And there it is. VOTE. VOTE. VOTE. Look — the GOP hates women. They hate minorities. They hate migrants. They hate teachers. They hate LGBTQ people. They hate the poor, the sick, and the marginalized. And yes, they hate same-sex marriage.

That is A LOT of people, my friends. And if all these people turn out to vote — we’ve got it made. But we can’t take it for granted. That is the purpose of articles like this. The whispers are no longer whispers, they’re screams of agony. And it falls to us to save America from people like Cruz and the Extreme Court.
