Our moment

As we head into a new year, let’s make you think about where we are in our current moment in this country-

No Americans have ever found themselves in this position before. Watching a sitting Republican President using our office to enrich himself, his family and present a cacophony of lies that has confused enraged and set off the American people in a way I wish I never saw. Consider this, a sitting President who lost an election, in America, by over 7 MILLION votes- is attempting to use his corrupt nature to corrupt the office his oath of office and our constitution once and for all. Trump is attempting to overthrow our constitutional republic. He wants to be ruler for life, and he has found enough corrupt minions in congress to help him go along with this most unAmerican and antidemocratic antirepublic embarrassment. Putin’s happy, I know that much. But what this ‘President’ will try to do on January 6th is corrupt our constitution, and once and for all move to corrupt the United States of America. It will not be successful, because our laws are too strong for a weak feeble minded corrupt con man loser. The precedent that this move sets is dangerous. Republicans have corrupted themselves to the point of not caring about unearthing 244 years of our history. So long as they get what they want. Consider the electoral count act, the antiquated vaguely written law on how to handle the electoral college count. We created it to make sure we never have this circumstance. But This is precisely what Trump has seized on as his last opportunity to corrupt his oath our document and overthrow the sovereignty of the American people in choosing who leads their nation. A practice that we here in the United States have been doing since 1828. Can you imagine this moment that we all find ourselves? We have ‘television‘ networks, social media corporations and publications actually promoting an unAmerican coup. Foreign disinformation too. This is how insane the internet has become. This is how much damage our reliance on it has done to our world. With an internet presidency, and no tether to reality (awareness of history laws or constitutional system) Americans have been beaten into the ground by this mans lies. The pace if his lies runs over peoples confusion. His lies makes them even more angry. He then tells them to direct that anger toward ‘the other’-they blindly follow the leader. Until they all fall off the cliff. On Jan 6th we will see cliff. On Jan 6 we will all see violent extremism in our streets, a scene straight out of Turkey, the likes of which no Americans have ever seen before. Because never before have we had a corrupt traitor as President, inciting violence to look strong and like less of a loser. Because he is a loser. He lost. A loser, broke a con man doesn’t want to be revealed as one. Because then, the house of cards will fall. His family will be out of a job. Sucks for them. They can go back to their small businesses taking loans from China, Turkey and Russian oligarch. WE, The People have a nation to rebuild, in our image.

Not in any one families or any one persons or any one ideology. America is a vast land composed of many different peoples and ideas. It’s time our government reflect that reality. It’s time our politics do. It’s time we take the power back from entrenched financial forces, by participating, en mass, just like we did in this last election. It’s time we talk to each other. Republicans will not succeed in their unAmerican corrupt attempt at destroying 244 years of American history, but they will destroy their own party. And the future of millions. Lincoln’s party is no more. It was hijacked by nationalist extremism and used as a promotional tool for a family to make a living. Republicanism now represents little more than the comment section of a YouTube video. How embarrassing for a Party once of Lincoln. Republican sycophantic mindless zombie-like behavior at the expense of American logic served to dement law, enrages yourself, makes your life smaller and decay trust in not only our country, our system, but of our very own elections that we brought to the world. Putin has accomplished so much more with this useful idiot, both globally and against us, than he probably ever conceived possible. We allowed that to happen. Our mindlessness acceptance, our addiction to our phones, our rejection of centuries old sources of information in favor of Facebook. We did it to ourselves. And he’s taken advantage of it all And of us. Trump isn’t the problem. The Republican Party is. It’s principle-less, directionless. If a sitting Republican President is actively conspiring to overturn a sovereign US election by looking to start an international conflict to destabilize the world greatest democracyrepublic-then The Republican Party stands for nothing. How sad is this moment we are all in? Instead of looking forward to turning the page and starting a new chapter in not only the battle against this pandemic but the business of our country-we are listening to and behaving according to a corrupt traitor. Instead of focusing on the future, we are focusing on one families pocket book. I think it’s time to move on, don’t you? But not before we see one last extreme desperate attempt by an extreme and desperate man to desperately hold onto something he never wanted in the first place. A classic narcissist, our lives have been hijacked for long enough. Time to turn the page. Stay safe out there.
