New Mexico’s Democratic Governor Embraces Fascism
In New Mexico, Governor Suspends Constitutional Rights in Response to Gun Violence
In a controversial move, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days. This decision comes in response to a recent spate of gun violence, including the tragic death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium. While the governor expects legal challenges, she believes that action is necessary to address the issue.
However, this suspension of constitutional rights has sparked a heated debate. Albuquerque Police Chief, among others, argues that the order is unconstitutional and refuses to enforce it. Grisham defends her decision, stating that in emergencies, certain restrictions on constitutional rights may be necessary to create a safer environment. She emphasizes the importance of considering the rights of those affected by gun violence.
Critics argue that this move sets a dangerous precedent, equating it to political fascism. They believe that the governor’s decision to violate constitutional rights without a genuine emergency undermines the principles of democracy. They fear that if such actions are allowed, any elected official could arbitrarily restrict fundamental rights based on personal preferences.

This situation raises concerns about the potential abuse of emergency powers. If a governor can declare a public health emergency and restrict free speech or ban internet usage without proper legislative processes, it poses a significant threat to individual liberties. Allowing one person to determine the fate of constitutional rights based on personal judgment is a form of tyranny.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent prolonged shutdowns have set a precedent for such actions. As data emerged suggesting that the situation was not as dire as initially believed, it was only a matter of time before officials attempted to exploit emergency powers for their own agendas.
If this becomes the new norm, where Democrats can suspend constitutional rights based on any perceived emergency, it poses a terrifying prospect for the future of democracy.
