It has been 78 years since the end of WWII and we once again are facing an enemy that was hopefully done away with all those years ago. Fascists are again running around making claims about how they are going to make things better.
The tactics used then were to create distrust and hate between various groups in society. The German race was superior to all others and the rest, especially the Jews, were not to be trusted. They may have created partnerships with Italy and Japan, but they did not trust or care for those peoples.
Their dress code required that they be wrapped in the flag and sing patriotic songs, and claim their honor more vigorously than others. They were going to shape a new world order and it would last 1000 years. We know that did not happen.
The role that women had in their world was children, kitchen, church and nothing more. So we have states that have taken away reproductive rights from women, they are attempting to turn the clock back at least to the 1950’s and possibly further if they can get away with it.
The new order wants to get rid of the Constitution, its power limits what the leaders can do and ensures rights to the people, can’t have that nonsense. Claim to be patriots, which could well be why some signed up, but the truth is a long way from patriotic. Get out of the UN, make friends of our enemies and enemies of our friends, or so it seems. Remember above all else, you are superior to all others that walk the earth.
We continue to hear nonsense about the election in 2024 will be the most important one in history, and he will win and you shall all be saved. This is of course, the last thing we need is another term of daily doses of derogatory comments about all those that he hates, which is pretty much everyone outside of self, and more of how great I am.
His crimes should put him behind bars, one of two places. Fort Leavenworth Kansas or the max facility in Colorado. If as a former Commander and Chief he can be buried in Arlington then he should be a candidate for internment in Leavenworth. Either way cut him off from everything and let him rot.
Does any of this even phase the republican party? Doesn’t seem too they go on having the time of their lives trying to shut down democrats. The followers, sheep, of DJT talk about the need to start a revolution and take the country back from, well I am not sure back from what. The definition I am hearing does not make it sound like the “Home of Brave and the Land of the Free”. Maybe it is to take it back so that we can return all citizens that are not Male, White and Rich to a state of servitude to those that are all those things and the only ones with the power, as it should be.
These rather slow-witted individuals say that this country was founded on Christian principles and yet most of the founding fathers were masons and they only ask that you believe in something not necessarily in Christianity. If that is what you believe in, so be it, however with the attitude that violence is an answer to the current political situation, it is doubtful that you qualify as Christian, more like rogue dipshit.
Religious teachings and practices do not keep violence out of the equation of interaction with others. The wars in Africa between Christian and Muslim, the takeover of Afghanistan and Pakistan the inquisition of old all this tells us that violence is very much a part of religion. Religion is based on books written by men and we have no idea the driving force behind the writing except seeking the benefit of being the writer and therefore taking the high ground for self.
Everyone knows how a fairy tale begins, “Once Upon a Time”, and a war story begins “You Ain’t Going to Believe this Shit, But it is True”, and a Myth begins “In The Beginning”. Take from there and see where it leads.
All the current legislation in most of the states is being written for the benefit of the party that holds the majority. Everything you can think of that puts power in the hands of those in charge is being done with hopes that it will not change at the next election. So much needs to change even before then to put this nation back on its feet.
When we hear that is it time to stop talking and take action then it is most definitely time to start talking and communicating. That means all parties come to the meeting in their big boy pants and leave the name calling and all that at home. Resolve the issues as civilized people should. Kick the radicals out of the meeting, and do not let them make decisions as their mind set will not allow for common sense and humility to be a part of the process.
