Pay Attention America......if you don't want to live in hell.

Well....I had to do something to get your attention, because we are in the gravest danger our republic has been in since the Civil War. This is not hyperbole; it's simply TRUE. And, that's a big part of the problem, right out of the gate: people are getting lied to and manipulated by the media....to the point that they really don't know who or what to trust. 

 

So, now what?  First, let's take a brief overview look at what we're facing.  For starters, I acknowledge that I have a strong 'liberal' bias.  If you want ' both-sidesism' you've come to the wrong place.  Both sides in the political arena are struggling to come out of this election year with majority political power.  But, if we take a look at what they each want, it's like night and day...almost literally.

Is this really the Second Jesus.....are you shitting me?

Let's remind ourselves of something that has been proven, again and again: Donald J. Trump is a 'deeply flawed' human-being. He's done so much over the last decades that proves this, that it's a wonder that the MAGAs can't see how evil the man really is.  He wants.  That sums him up precisely;  he just WANTS....all of it.  He feels he should be a world-class power leader--read 'dictator'--like Putin or Xi, Or any of the lesser 'pocket' dictators who have their knees on the necks of various countries.  Just the idea that you can rule by fiat is like apple-blossoms to bees.  You can...like dear old Vlad...order your opponents killed with zero consequences.  You can dominate a country with your desire to become even more powerful.  It's like magic....sort of....just a little bloodier, because people like Putin and Xi have the rarely challenged--never successfully--ability to destroy anybody who opposes them, and not have to answer for it.  Trump would just love to be in this kind of situation. Apparently a large number of MAGAs already think he has been sent by God to save us (from what isn't exactly clear)...from ourselves perhaps?

The Orange Idiot has already announced what he intends to do.  I recently mentioned his plans, i.e. Project 2025, 47, and others.  Steve Bannon is hopefully headed to jail after his latest delaying tactic failed.  But, he is just one of Trump's evil cabal who plan to destroy democracy, methodically and completely.  They plan to create a Christian White Supremacist society and fairness, rights and all that....don't even enter into the equation.  It won't be about the people having a thing to say about it; it WILL be about either falling into line and doing what you're told....or suffering whatever consequences the dominators wish for you.  Could be concentration camps (yes, just like the ones we built for Japanese Americans in 1942) or it could be un-named 'Gitmo's, camps where what goes on is no longer subject to any kind of scrutiny, justice or even a smidgen of human kindness.  No!  Gone!

You needn't believe me. You can easily do your own research in this age of information.  But, you need to cultivate the ability to spot bullshit when you see/smell it.  One of the side-effects of living in this time is the loss of any firm moral compass. True, some can hold onto theirs with a white-knuckle death grip....but, for most Americans, the 'truth' has become elusive and when it is potentially identified, it's no longer the bed-rock we once believed we could fall back on for a sense of stability and harmony.  Now, it's necessary for people to put energy into 'discernment'.  Say wha?   That is the ability to see a situation from an overview and to also analyze it's component parts....and come away with a sense of what the source of this 'truth' is really trying to do.  What do they want, really?

Well, if you stop and look closely at the political right, especially including the 'far' right, you will see that what they really do desire...in their wee coal-black hearts....is to be in power and to force anybody beneath their boot-heels to comply with their directives and to cower before them. This is not speculation on my part, or on the part of commentators....like Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Nicolle Wallace, Jen Psaki, Katie Phang...and so many more, who are devoting their energy to trying to make those who haven't already swallowed the Kool-Aid, realize how precarious, downright nightmarish, our situation really is.

This isn't the moment to go further into just what a second Trump term would look like.  We'll do that in the near future in another piece.

But, what I pray you will come to understand is that this is Freedom's Last Stand.  If we lay down in front of the tanks that are coming....and, yes, I mean that metaphorically....they won't even try to avoid rolling right over us.  All the rumblings about a second Civil War, will become actual armed confrontations and it will be a deeply tragic day for America.
