It seems like forever since things were anything approaching 'normal' in our society. But, it also feels like we're on the backside of the curve as numbers of new cases and hospitalizations have plummeted to levels not seen since the first half of 2020. Of course, it's too early to proclaim 'victory' and it would be simple-minded to think we're completely out of the woods with this thing. If the people who have told themselves that neither vaccines nor the government are to be trusted....so, therefore, it is their decision to not get vaccinated....would just wake-up and smell the coffee. Well, we know better than that, right?
Science is a scam, perpetrated by quacks who just want to lie to us about pretty much every-fucking-thing. Facts are what you make them. If you don't like the actual, factual truth that is in front of you, well, hell, you can just make-up your preferred version and now that will be the truth....,because you say so, eh.
Tony Faucci is a brigand whose purpose in life is to deceive us all. The Chinese engineered Covid-19 so that it could be used as a weapon against us. Donald J. Idiot is an intelligent and rational person. Elections are so crooked in the hands of state election commissions that they need to have a body of laws preventing fraud.....except that there is almost ZERO fraud, as established by many, many court cases now. The Brown Wave is coming to your community and your life will never be the same. The government's secret agenda is to bleed the middle-class dry with taxes and fees and give it all away to the 'little people, who just happen to be largely of other than white ethnicity.
The capital insurrection of January 6th was merely a harmless gathering of patriots who were very upset because the election was stolen from their Dear Leader. Some of them were just there to tour the capital; others were there to simply register their discontent with our congressional representatives and senators.
There is an international cabal of liberals who worship Satan and are pedophiles. So, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Hillary (of course) Adam Schiff, and a long list of despicable liberals.....gather in the basement of a DC pizzeria and molest infants, then kill them, extract a life-extending compound from their adrenal glands...and then EAT THEM, the babies that is.
If you sense a pattern emerging here, you are correct. And, that pattern is created by about one third of Americans who believe all of the above.
Consider this: the lies and deceptions being practiced wholesale by the GOPs have taken on a life of their own. They are not seen as falsehoods by about 40% of the country. In other words, a little less than half of Americans are choosing to adopt beliefs that are not only factually incorrect, but are morally bankrupt.
Dear Leader has them eating out of the palm of his hand and kissing his ring. He is making sounds about running for office again, either congress in 2022, or the White House again in '24. He's certifiably unbalanced, clinically insane, and yet this is what his followers now identify as the Great Savior of America. In truth, he's devoted to becoming a leader with immense power over his followers and who will create a fascist political system that will have power over people so locked-up that it will be almost impossible to over-turn it. Any despot does all he/she can to cement their hold on power right out of the gate. Trump spent the last four years doing just that and were it not for the liberals recognizing, then getting ready and countering his efforts...we would already be in a second term for a man who dreams of being our president for life, i.e. a dictator.

Think America is dangerous for people of color now? Just you wait. And, just in case you are not crystal clear about what fascism is, here is a dictionary definition: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce etc. and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Referring back to the title of this commentary, I offer you the thought that what we are experiencing is another pandemic....but, this is one created by a sickness of the mind that manifests as a willingness, even an eagerness, to hate. Hatred is not difficult. In fact, it's as easy as falling off a log. There are people here in Maine who avowedly despise people of color, despite the fact that there are hardly any of them in the state. Maine is about as white as a state can be....and, yet, there are Billy Joe Bobs here who proudly fly the Idiot's banners and the Gadsden flag, i.e. "Don't Tread on Me" from the beds of their pick-'em-ups. I have seen multiple pick-up back windows with the largest possible graphics saying, "Fuck Mills", who is, of course, our democratically elected governor. She's actually doing a good job, but that is also the reason that the far-right and your average infected sicko Kool Aid identifies her as their target for hatred.
Evidence of how fast and far this infection has spread across the land is everywhere you look. People in the news who are public servants who happen to disagree with the Idiot...receive an unending stream of email, messages and even phone calls threatening death. There is no limit on the depths of depravity to which the Kool Aids will sink. And, one must assume, that they think spewing hatred and threats of violence are somehow 'normal', or why else would they be doing this? They think it is okay.
The question that is rising up before us, growing bigger and more acute every day, is whether or not this second pandemic can be stopped before it has completely overtaken our country.
The only way that will happen is if all people who care and who understand the gravity of the threat that is looming over us....are able to overcome all of the impediments that the GOPs are throwing in front of the voting booth. If we cannot stop them in 2022, it's very likely going to be impossible to do so in 2024, because they will have hardened the obstacles to exercising our right to vote so well that we'll never get back to a full and fair election......not ever.
Game over, America. The crazies can and will win, if we back down now.
