I recently saw a post on Facebook, where the poster said… “We are, quite literally, watching Democracy die before our very eyes".
He’s right you know.
Yes we are, literally, watching our Democracy die, and I’m pretty pissed off about it because this should never have happened. Had good people, in the early days of Trump’s reign of horror, openly alerted the country and the world to the fact that a totally corrupt, immoral, racist was doing everything in his power to dismantle our Democracy, we might not now be fearing the loss of our Democracy, and with it, the freedoms we’ve taken for granted for way too long.
The media, in my opinion, is as much to blame for Trump as were those who held positions of power in his administration and did nothing... said nothing... until it was all over, and then their motivation wasn’t to help the country... their motive was greed... people like John Bolton who could have possibly given America the information that would have resulted in Trump being found guilty when he was impeached... but Bolton talked big, but produced only a book.... one which I will NEVER read. Bolton has nothing to say that I want to hear, because I’ve heard it all before. He’s a man with an ego bigger than Texas, and an non-existent moral compass.
The media promoted Trump as much as any professionally paid promoter would have, and because they gave this LIAR, this CRIMINAL a platform for his every move, his every utterance, and his insane rallies... we are now looking at the beginnings of the fall of history’s greatest political experiment... the one that made this country great.
Like Rome, unless we do SOMETHING, and do it fast, Trump’s words “You may not have a country any more” may very well become the reality that none of us wanted. Even Trump’s most loyal fans don’t want what’s going to happen if something isn’t done to end this current state of affairs... they just don’t know they don’t want it. They’re only interested in their belief that Trump is the only one who can save our country, and because there are millions of them, all I can say is God help us all.
When Tramp first started his campaign, I was aghast at the things he was saying at his so called "rallies". When it was suggested that the techniques he used and continues to use were likened to those of Hitler, a knot began to form in the pit of my stomach. I started looking into the history of Hitler, those that supported him, enabled him, propelled him, the knots became, literally, nauseousness. I don't believe Tramp to be a smart man, but surrounds himself with those that can direct his will. Accepting no blame or blaming others is his way to control. His unscripted "speeches" are evident of his lack of communication skills. His ability to steal with the h…
