I believe the answer to that question is up in the air. Too many remain heedless of hearing, willfully and not, to the clarion call alerting America and the world. A massive tidal wave of outrageous and dangerous behavior of supposed leaders of America is heading our way, and in fact, much has already been delivered to us. The ocean is rough. Waves high, many rogue. And the air is already ringing with the desperate and confused cries of those drowning. How, they wonder, how can this be happening?
We voted for Trump. We believed his promises. He was going to fix all that was wrong in this nation. He promised us that. He promised us that again and again. Yet here we are going down for the third time and no one is answering our cries for help. Where are the lifeguards? Where are promises kept? He promised! He promised yet again this entire weekend! Please - a boat, a canoe, a tube, a rope, a piece of wood - a helping hand!!! Reach out. Save us. SOSSOSSOS. sossossos. sossossos. sossossos. Silence...Dead silent.
And so it is and so it will always be unless and until we knock harder and harder on the doors now being slamming in our faces or even crash through the windows locked against us as well. The only lifeguards to arrive will be our doppelgangers, for it is only we, us, who can save ourselves. Great effort, unity and understanding - then, possibly we will be able to turn the situation around. Remind ourselves: who are we? Where are we? When did we lose our way? How do we avoid repetition of same erroneous thoughts and misguided actions?
In fact, is there any chance of so doing? Or is our ending already foretold? Is that ending already foretold, too late, too little time, too much wrong to correct in timely manner? Too few of us to make a dent? Any answer? Any help? Any hope?
What is upon us now? To do. To save ourselves, to save this nation and while it is, in fact, very late we still can pull it off. Step one is easy, though apparently not for many, either ignorant or refusing to do so. What is it? Pick up your phone. Boot up the computer. Share your thoughts and minds with them. Pay a personal visit to the district office. Swamp them with good old fashioned snail mail. Insist that they hear you. Convey your disappointment. No, your anger and your despair and your demand of change.
Remind them that if things do not change in Washington, and soon, then the people will step up and initiate necessary changes. Leaving behind the current administration, from the demented, self-anointed King, to his Unelected Puppetmaster and his swarm of Muskrats and all those cowardly sniveling creatures who enable, who are cowards. Shoo them along with all the minor ranks of flying monkeys so eager to acquiesce in the hijacking of America.
We need to take a page out of the instruction manual of Donald Trump. We must at times take the low road, as he does, for I do not believe he can raise his eyes high enough to see the high road and hence remains impervious to it. We must reject and disembody, deny, his constant infantile, maniacal mannerisms emulating the schoolyard bully even to the point of falling back in the face of returned pressure.
Wishful thinking - perhaps we might send him back to school so that he may be able to write and read and think appropriately, to comprehend that there are laws in every aspect of life, and they must be obeyed or even contested, but in rightful and legal manner. Perhaps it might be possible to enhance his grasp of the fact that America is a democracy, not a kingdom, not his, nor that of Musk, nor of any other person. Ever. Evidently, he failed history and civics.
Furthermore, he has violated so many of our laws, placed himself deeply beyond the pale, in fact, incorrigible in his breaking of the law and his contempt of the law and egregiously wrong role model for the nation. Even worse, perhaps worst of all is how he has enmeshed and endangered so many, twisting them till they knew not right from wrong or saw advantage for themselves within his ugly camp. Gangsters all and all must answer to the law.
We must use the strength and the power of the law. We must celebrate those judges who remain true to justice, to the role of judiciaries We must rid the bench of those who do not, who believe and act upon a belief of fealty to Trump, rather than to the nation, rather than to the citizens of America. We must adhere to the laws of the Constitution and the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. We must remember that no one, nary a soul, no matter rank, no matter wealth, no matter what, nary a soul is above the law. Position does not excuse. Position does not free one from the chains of a rightful law. We need to remember that, to enforce it, to live it, to breathe it, to apply it and stand tall and proud in the face of history, in the face of rescuing this nation, keeping it true and steady to its proper place in history, remembering and reminding all what it is to be an American in the United States of America.
Again, the process is there. The process is possible, is even probable if we act together, if we regain our senses, if we understand what we have enabled and understand what we have already lost. How crumbly is the ground beneath our feet. Hear the roar of the angry ocean, its rogue waves hungry, desirous of more victims, as are the powerful riptides. Remember those we have already lost. Delve deep for courage and integrity, for loyalty to a nation and its people, rather than to one maniac possessed of and by oversized ego and rotten morals, if any. We will do it. With strict application and adherence to the Constitution of these here United States of America. We will do it by electing to office those who are brave and bold and honest enough, American enough to defy his demands. And pass new laws overriding inevitable vetoes. Apply the law. Simple. Clear. Perfect. Insist that no one in this nation is above the law. No one is immune to consequences of breaking that law. And no one certainly is to be excused for the destruction of this nation via armed rebellion.
A rebellion using the law, with insistence that no one is above the law, remaining steady and determined - and as long as it must be for the process to take hold and we can be, once again, the America we need and want, as does the world. Things in Washington must change immediately, if not sooner. Demand explanations of votes. Or of not voting. Each and every one of our representatives, each and every one of our senators, must grow up, toughen up, dig deep and find some remnant of courage. Of honesty. Of true service to the nation. and send them, those who cannot do so, far away from any place or position of power.
This would be, hopefully will be, a legal revolution for it is a return home, to law and order, to truth and benefit of a nation, rather than to the few Uber wealthy. Not a rebellion at all, just a recentering of what is clearly there.
Hello, hello, any one home? Please be home.
Yesterday we were America,
Today, not so much
On the morrow ...
