Right or wrong, the assumption is that we have always stood up for equal rights within this country, citizen or not. We have pushed for equal rights within the populations of the world. Failure often occurred, though the drive remained in enough people, in a sufficient amount within the body politic, that the impetus was there. It continues to evolve, though with some terrible backwards movement. Those enabled to vote moved from only white men of a certain age and with an amount of property to all, poor, all ethnicities and religions, all genders. Unfortunately, there remain challenges to that idea, that status quo, by those wishing to turn back the clock. They do all they can, up to and including violence to attain that goal.
What is interesting though is how they maintain a "frenzied silence" when called to task. That phrase was initially stated by a grieving Russian father denied the truth about his son's status - dead, alive, or missing. A son who served on the Moskva, the ship sunk by Ukrainian forces. He deemed it an "indifferent frenzied silence". It is the failure of a government to uphold the truth, to inform the nation of the truth, whatever it is. Failure to do so will eventually rebound, and the silencers will face the wrath of the people.
Rather sadly, we have had an entire contingent of the body politic busily engaging in the same silence - at least about the truth. For lies, one had merely to find a Trump Central. The false information, the disinformation, was there for the taking. Whatever strange conspiracies could be ginned up - well, there they were. And the outgrowth was horrendous, of great harm to this country of ours.
Once upon a time an alarming group of politicians in high places in government decided that it was time to change, to rearrange, our government, morphing it from a democracy to a dictatorship, possibly a monarchy, of the Trumpian dynasty. They boasted and bragged and planned, in secret emails, in frenzied talk of overturning the process of transfer of power, of maintaining office, even of killing those who opposed them. To the point of threatening Vice-President Pence. His murder to take place along with Pelosi in the courtyard on hastily constructed gallows. The twisted desires, wishes, and threats, all right there. Too many refused to read those words, hear those threats, feel the danger growing so close that it actually is a WOW! That is how close we came to losing our republic. The truth is emerging from the filth in which it is buried, and the frenzied silence of the criminals, the traitors, will serve them no good.
All the obfuscations, All the lies. All the claims of "I don't recall". All the attempts to deny the truth to the nation. All will be for naught. The investigation of 9 months is revealing more and more of the horrific truth of that day, Jan. 6. It has revealed that this plan was not of the moment, but rather planned, ever since the loss on Election Day. So many involved Senators and Representatives, members of the Secret Service and others. Pence, too often a loyal ally and servant to the cause of Trump, somehow finally realized the truth. Right in the face as the resounding threats to his life and the attempt by Trump loyalists to remove him from the scene. Thus presenting an image of an overthrown, cashing it in American government. Even as they prepared a cavalcade of about twenty busses to transport members of Congress. To enhance that picture of a government defeated, abandoned by its members. The end of the United States of America.
Unfortunately for Trump campers, enough sense returned to enough people and they refused to abandon ship. Pence stated it in six little words. "I won't get in the car". We all must not get in that car. We must understand down to the tiniest bone in our body, that Trump is a peril to this country. The sooner prosecuted the better. For the world. For us.
Is there a contrast between what is real and what is wished for? Is there a contrast between our government and that of Russia? Not enough, not nearly enough at all. We had better hitch up our proverbial pants and get to work to save this nation. The only way to save the world. Urgent beyond any other time that we can recall. Not now, but yesterday. And tomorrow. And tomorrow. And all the tomorrows to follow.
