Mainor sums up what the Democrat party \u2014 local, state, and federal levels \u2014 is all about.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The Democrat party has become a despotic clique, intolerant of free, independent thought.\u00a0\u00a0To be a Democrat, as Ms. Mainor makes clear, one must endorse the party line \u2014 with intent to crush alternative viewpoints.\u00a0\u00a0To be a Democrat, one must regard every institution in American life, public or private, as subservient to the will of the empowered despots.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Mainor raised a personal banner of freedom, joining the party of freedom, exactly one week after U.S. district judge Terry A. Doughty (whose name, literally, means &#8220;brave and persistent&#8221;) stood tall against the White House and its federal minions in defense of the First Amendment, the hallmark of the spirit of American liberty.<\/p>\n<p>And what is the First Amendment all about if not protecting the right of every single citizen to have &#8220;a mind of my own&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Those five words are abhorrent to the totalitarians of the left, for whom the population should have all the diversity, in terms of ideas, of mindless robots.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be candid, this writer thought, reading of Ms. Mainor&#8217;s decision to leave the despotic party for the freedom party, that this was a significant switch in the U.S. House of Representatives.\u00a0\u00a0That the switch is at the state level in Georgia is not to be downplayed, however.\u00a0\u00a0Bear in mind that Georgia has a state prosecutor ready to be of assistance to the Despotic Clique in Washington with yet another political prosecution of Donald J. Trump.\u00a0\u00a0Ms. Mainor&#8217;s protest against the monolithic mindset among Georgia Democrats cannot be other than an embarrassment to the groupthinkers who hold sway in the Peach State.<\/p>\n<p>To borrow from Winston S. Churchill, the decision of Mesha Mainor to switch to the Republican Party is clearly not the end of rule by the Despotic Clique in Washington, but it may augur the beginning of the end of Bidenism.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/blog\/2023\/07\/crucified_black_georgia_state_rep_switches_to_republican_party.html\">https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/blog\/2023\/07\/crucified_black_georgia_state_rep<br \/>\n_switches_to_republican_party.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Crucified&#8217;: Black Georgia State Rep Switches To Republican Party<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-175431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=175431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175431\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=175431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=175431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=175431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
