Liberty!
The dull-orange-menace, Donald Trump, spent his
time this week calling for his followers to “liberate” the states that are not cooperating
with his attempt to rule by fiat.
Thousands of people have showed up at state
capitals, many of them armed, some wearing MAGA hats, some flashing white power
signs, some carrying flags: Confederate flags, Nazi flags, T-Rump flags all
demanding that the governors in their states bow before their petty little
dictator.
We have been hearing people on Fox News, tell us
that they would rather die than let the economy suffer, that it is worth the
cost of 1% or 2% or 3% of the lives of American people, veterans, grandmothers
and grandfathers, children.
They want to be able to go out and play, let the
body count rise.
It is insanity, and it makes me very sad.
These are people who cannot see past the end of
their nose, they have no empathy, they are not patriots.
These people cannot tell the truth from a lie.
They cannot admit that they have been wrong about Donald
Trump from the start, my own aunt, a woman I have always respected, who is not
dumb by any means, told me she thinks Donald Trump is doing a great job, and
thinks that the questions he is asked by reporters at his daily screed are ridiculous.
She is unwilling to admit that this criminal regime is now responsible for
deaths of tens of thousands of Americans, people who would not have dies if we
had acted sooner, and there are tens of thousands more who will die before this
is over, but because their vanity will not allow them to admit that they are
wrong, they will do nothing to hold the Fake President accountable.
I never imagined we could get here.
I have always known that Americans are by and large
ignorant about our role in the world, the heavy hand we play in developing
countries in order to consume all their goods and exploit their labor.
I never had much hope of trying to burst that
bubble, but I never thought they would let a bankrupt, craven, draft-dodging
fool destroy the entire country.
America needs to be liberated, but it is not the
people of Michigan and Minnesota, Virginia and Maryland who need to be
liberated, it is all of the American people who need to be freed from the
tyranny of this vapid mad-man Donald Trump.
There are 198 days until the election, that is 198
days too long.
