NO! Trump/Pence OUT NOW! The Situation: VP Pence and Mitch McConnell backed up Trump’s legal challenges to the election. William Barr authorized Federal prosecutors to investigate claims of election fraud. The RNC Chair held a press conference trying to delegitimize the election in key battleground states with no evidence. Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper who opposed deploying active-duty troops against demonstrations. The Proud Boys say their ‘standby order has been rescinded’ and MAGA mobs are organizing a march in DC Saturday. All while Trump went on a social media rampage that he won the election and that it’s being stolen by the Democrats. Andy Zee, member of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board said: “People poured their hearts into voting against Trump. They fought through outrageous moves by Trump and the Republi-fascists to deny them the vote. And, Biden has decisively won, and they rightly celebrated. We must not allow the Trump/Pence Regime to illegitimately overturn this election. That is why it is so urgent that people come out on Saturday to say NO! to Trump still trying to steal the election.” Refuse Fascism also took out a full page ad in the NY Times, Monday November 9 with a Pledge to the People of the World, In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America! Trump/Pence Out Now! signed by a range of prominent intellectuals and artists. The RefuseFascism Call for Saturday’s Protest: Mass Protest Nationwide Saturday, November 14 Trump Is Still Trying to Steal the Election!NO! Trump/Pence OUT NOW!In the Name of Humanity,We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!The media has declared Biden is the clear winner of the electoral college and popular vote. This is a very good thing, but the struggle is far from over. The Trump/Pence campaign is filing multiple suits in courts that they have packed with reactionary judges up to the Supreme Court. Trump’s MAGA mobs are mobilized. Tens of millions voted for his fascist program that has tortured immigrants, unleashed white supremacist terror, exacerbated the climate crisis, spread lies and COVID, and stacked the courts with theocratic Christian fascists. The Republi-fascist Party is standing by Trump and is in control of the majority of state governments, as well as many of the courts—including the Supreme Court, which Trump has openly called on to support his claim of victory. As long as Trump and his regime are still in power, as long as their followers are filled with passionate vengeance, they can still prevail through legal and extra-legal means. We cannot let them dominate the public space and public discourse. Now, our struggle enters a new phase… as the fascist regime and its supporters try to usurp the rule of law. The people must seize this moment and go all the way to driving this regime out and driving this fascist movement back and its hateful vicious program from every part of society. Our side must unite, organize, and be in the streets. Fascism is NEVER legitimate. We must organize and mobilize on a whole other level. Sign up at refusefascism.org and get connected. Find where and when Refuse Fascism gathers in the public square in your town – come and join us and bring your crew. Stay in the streets and demand Trump/Pence Out Now! We must not stop until they’re gone. INTERVIEWS AVAILABLE: Coco Das is a writer and a member of the Editorial Board of RefuseFascism.org |
