WE all, myself included vent a lot on here and other places including our homes and around some people but the truth is after reading about Alito, and seeing Trump love, the state of affairs of hate and lawlessness has been normalized. People have been brainwashed and fallen into a trap primed for fascism.
If it were not normalized, we would all and I mean all democracy loving, freedom loving Americans would be out in the streets demanding justice and accountability but that is not going to happen. I can’t see it or even begin to see it. Has Americans become so spoiled that ignoring situations will eventually make things get better?
A lot of people depend on the ballot box but regardless what happens in November, there is going to be trouble. I do see that.
As long as we have apathetic voters and non voters along with lousy journalism and bias disregard for law of the land, that continues without any kind of demand for accountability , then we have just accepted “ America has fallen down and can’t get up”. We have normalized the stench and divisive way America has become. The ringleader, Donald J Trump keeps that smirk on his face because he instigated the tripwire that had many go to this place in the world.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer but let us get real. In the 40’s and 50’s things were normalized and nothing changed but a leader named MLK came along and marched not one day, not one week, but every single day. He chose prison, and ultimately death for voting rights and demand for equality.
Who is leading today on such a quest? Name one. I hear rumble but see no action. There was a time when people stood up and said, “No more”. John Lewis was one of those people. Rosa Parks was one of those people. Alice Paul was one of those people. They did it peacefully but consistently. They had attention spans longer than a five o’clock news break that did not repeat at 9, Was there danger? You bet there was.
Change takes a desire to want, no , demand accountability. I don’t see much of that in today’s America. I am not advocating violence or a complete revolt but I do want younger people and not those 60 or70 or so to wake up and see they are losing their country.
There has always been corruption and greed and white supremacy and yes inequality against women but where are the ironed jawed angels ? If this normalization of hoping institutions and law enforcement will make a change in this country, I can’t help but think people had rather sit on the couch and shake their heads than try to make things better. We have moved backwards, not forward and that is not normal but people for the most part have accepted it as so.
Thanks for listening.
This is what Leadership and movements look like.
Iron Jawed Angels
How far have we fallen.
There are laws separate for the common people and the wealthy.
There is no accountability for lawlessness.
Climate Change Denial
There is normalizing for what is happening today.
We all should say… “NO MORE”
We should say...No more of this:
See the Video on reuters of Campaign of fear.
The people who administer U.S. elections – from poll workers and ballot counters to county clerks and secretaries of state – have endured a year of terroristic threats from supporters of former President Donald Trump, inspired by his false assertions of widespread fraud in the 2020 vote. The result, as Reuters chronicled in this agenda-setting series of reports, has been a campaign of intimidation that is stressing the foundation of American democracy.
