America has been dumbed down. Like a cheap Trump property or a failed Trump business, America’s reputation in the civilized world is becoming a reflection of the weakest patsy in the free world.
Although in fairness, I don’t think Trump can take all the credit. Credit is also due to Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, the least entitled human being to be warded a medal of freedom, and the entire Republican Party hell bent on destroying the Constitution and turning us into a one party mafia state.
Are people really making death threats on Dr. Fauci and his family?
Are county sheriffs in Wisconsin actually telling people not to follow the law?
Are Republican governors intent on killing off their constituents by ignoring basic safety protocols and insisting that schools open regardless of the threat to students, teachers and support staff?
Did a quarter million bikers just descend on the tiny town of Sturgis, SD with the blessing of the governor and city officials?
Are there really still people, as positive cases skyrocket and deaths climb to absurd heights, dismissing this virus as fake?
Do people not get that there can be no economic recovery if people have no money and they have no money because they have no job and they have no job because there is a virus raging which will not go away without following specific scientific protocols?
Does it not bother Trump supporters that Republicans in Congress think they are lazy and have no work ethic, would rather stay home and do nothing rather than have a job, and therefore are not deserving of funds necessary to sustain them and their families, which would also serve as a boost to the economy.
Are we really debating whether having a functioning Post Office is necessary? Or that giving corporations a free pass on polluting the air and water is good for the nation or the world?
Do people not care about the scandals and secrecy surrounding Russia; the continued Russian attacks on our democracy; Trump’s strange relationship with Putin where he plays the role of the stooge and Putin the handler?
Do the millions of Trump supporters even understand they too are victims? Their Social Security is under threat same as for democrats; their healthcare is under threat same as for democrats; their lives are under threat same as for democrats by a Republicans Party that simply can’t govern and doesn’t want to?
So let’s see—we’re arguing about wearing masks because it takes away our freedom, but feel free to send Federal stormtroopers into American cities because people are angry, disillusioned and worn out by the constant lying, taking away of rights, benefits and even their futures.
And let’s not forget police murdering black Americans without cause or provocation. Officers who act like they are entitled to lose their minds and seriously injure innocent people who stand in their way peaceful or not. That they, the police, are the major source of violence and aggression that is turning up the heat in this country and like corporations seem to have been granted immunity from everything.
Are defenders of the Second Amendment happy to see the First Amendment trampled? Are people saying a government’s role in protecting citizens is uncalled for? That the Trump plan of doing nothing about the virus except for confusing people and dismissing the experts is good for America? For them?
Do whites in America actually feel put out or feel aggrieved that people of color get preferential treatment? That we should be a white country run by a dictator? That democracy is overrated and blacks and latinos are less American than caucasians and should be treated as such?
I could go on, but I will rest my case.
