The phrase seems appropriate as we just finished celebrating Passover, a holiday meant to celebrate the freedom of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. If you are confused, it is not about slavery here, nor about the growing anti Semitism and the desire to have done with it already. Enough!
Nope, this has to do with the American people and the political world we live in. For five years we lived under a demented man, a fractured mind which found favor with too many gullible souls, hating souls, and people looking for answers - in the wrong places. After his loss in the elections we hoped that he would go quietly into the permanent make believe world of Mar a Lago. But that did not happen.
Today we are still being bombarded with his outlandish, yet dangerous, activities. He sits behind a copy of the desk from the Oval Office, displays items as if he were still president - which he continues to maintain that he is - and takes photos as if he were entertaining visitors to the White House. Including creeps such as Stephen Miller.
We could live with his shenanigans if, if, that was all they were. They are not. Two dangerous organizations were announced yesterday and the stink level of approaching Fascism in America rose to a much greater level. Pence launched Advancing American Freedom and Miller and Trump announced America First Legal, where the dregs of the legal society will endeavor to defy all attempts to grow the economy, to repair the holes in the social safety nets that were ripped open by Trump, McConnell and others, and otherwise do as much damage as they can to Biden's plans.
The names themselves are indicative of the repressive philosophy of them and the dangerous political stands they take. Once again we are to be bombarded with this garbage. Once again we will have the media paying attention, giving time over to Trump and his stooges, when what should be done is to ignore it. If one ignores a bully, he goes away.
Time to let the American people go. Time to let the peoples of the world heal from the crazed five years and for the world to be free of this damaging and hate filled philosophy. Time to allow Biden to ramp up his anti gun program. Time to remember that we must keep our natural wonders and lands safe from destructive development. Time to get a serious program going in the countries of Central America which are delivering most of the children of desperate parents to America. These children, many of them, are facing death in their homelands and the parents have established their own versions of the Kindertransports in order to try to give their kids a shot at a future.
Let my people go. Let America heal from the wounds inflicted upon it by Trump. Let the American people learn to live with each other, to tolerate each other, to learn new habits and thoughts, to realize the danger we were in on Jan. 6, the collusion of so many in the attempted coup, the overthrow of the legitimate government of the country. I shudder at the thought at how many governmental figures joined in and as the rats of the rebels begin to turn on each other, hold your breath!
How about we talk how the new stimulus checks are being used to purchase items long delayed, yet needed, injecting fuel into the economy? How about stores and businesses re-opening and jobs and hiring taking place. How about the fact that doctors are once again seeing people in person, not telehealth and chairs are being replaced?
Trump and all other alleged wanna be fascists, let my people go!!!.
