What is left to say when the world has crashed around our shoulders? What is left to say when America has chosen a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a man of limited intellectual capacity severely ravaged by a growing dementia, a man sociopathic in actions with a thunderous lack of moral spine, as a leader, the President, of this nation. Again. Four more years of hate and violence. Four more years of increasing JewHatred and aren't the Proud Boys so smug as their ally won this election!
Actually, it can and probably will be worse than anticipated. Trump is old, with health issues amid a rather unhealthy life and habits, He could very likely die in office and then OMG! OMG!!! Vance!!! A fascist at heart with backwards thinking and young to boot. Where thence America?
What have we done? What have we caused? What awful trend of thought or lack thereof have we set in godawful motion? What horrendous acts and rules will be perpetrated upon this nation? Will we see those armed forces roaming the streets of America? Will we see a prioritized formation of firing squads as promised? threatened?
Even worse, we can seriously contemplate a shredding party wherein every copy, hard and soft, of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence will be torn to pieces. Literally and figuratively. I have no doubts that Trump will attempt to put in place his most outrageous plans buoyed by the sycophantic terrorized cowards of Congress and governmental structure of the nation.
I worry for my daughters, my granddaughters and all the women of this nation. Troglodyte thinking will prevail with an attempt to reintroduce as national policy, stated or implied, of kinder, kirche, and kuchen. Shall we all need to invest in the purchase of red gowns, and wide brimmed hats?
Yet another concern - what about Kamala Harris and all the opponents. Are they in existential danger? Do we believe the threats of Trump, of revenge and retribution, of imprisonment and suppression, mass deportations? Will the rights of citizenship be torn and declared invalid? Are political opponents of Trumpism in actual existential peril - as promised? If so, the resultant damage to this nation to its democracy, to Democracy, might be irreparable.
Will Americans become used to living under suppression and oppression? I worry greatly for Israel and other endangered nations, for Trump Is notoriously mercurial in thoughts, words and deeds and cannot be trusted to maintain a steady hand at the wheel. The awful life dampening shadows of the dictators of the world will be empowered. The nation which once stood for all that was good, stood proud in its role, the nation of the Lady of the Harbor, will have disappeared.
What have we done, America? Cry my once beloved country. Those of us who have spoken out, are we to await an early morning call and bag over the head? A ruling of suppression? Imprisonment as traitors? How ironic that would be! What have we done, America? What new awful path of history have we set in motion? Who the hell knows in this rather ugly new world of ours.
I sincerely hope I am wrong. I pray we can eke out some kind of positivity from this whole mess. I am, for all intents and purposes, presently speechless. I hope and pray I do not have to say, "I told you so!"
Dear Lord, please excuse your foolish creations. A tad more patience would come in handy. Perhaps some enlightenment, along with strong displays of displeasure. Majestic thundering and lightning. Whatever would work. Just enough to remind humanity of their responsibility. and of Your power. Enough to stave off permanent damage.
There is nothing more to say in the face of this disaster.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
